TEXAS FFA FOUNDATION VISION
Through a coordinated effort by the Texas FFA Foundation to engage the Texas FFA Association, Vocational Agricultural Teachers Association of Texas (VATAT), Texas FFA Alumni Association, Collegiate FFA Association of Texas, and Texas Young Farmers Association in cooperation with business, industry, agricultural colleges/universities, and governmental leadership over the next five years, the Texas FFA Foundation will work to advance agricultural education and the Texas FFA Program.
Building on the proven success of Texas agricultural education and the Texas FFA Program, our mission will be distinguished by the continued development, funding, and implementation of cutting edge learning opportunities focusing on: academic achievement, critical thinking, leadership and communication skills, technical and practical skills, teamwork, and a strong work ethic.
Progressively, the Texas FFA Foundation will work with affiliate organizations to more clearly define the public’s understanding of the personal and economic value of agricultural education and the Texas FFA Program.
The Texas FFA Foundation understands the vital role of agricultural science teachers. We will promote our teachers as a valuable resource dedicated to teaching and service to the profession and their communities. As a necessary step in enhancing the range and depth of our teachers’ capabilities, the Texas FFA Foundation will work to develop effective programs and alliances with corporate sponsors, private foundations, community, education professionals and governmental leaders to maximize learning opportunities for Texas teachers, students and communities.
To ensure a dynamic future for Texas agricultural education and the Texas FFA Program, the Texas FFA Foundation will seek financial resources sufficient to sustain these programs in perpetuity.
