How many degrees of membership does FFA offer?

FFA recognizes four degrees of membership, each representing a level of achievement and commitment to agricultural education and the organization. The degrees are designed to encourage members to advance through their involvement in the FFA, enhancing their leadership skills, knowledge, and participation in various agricultural activities.

These degrees include the Discovery Degree, which is for members in middle school; the Greenhand Degree, awarded to first-year high school members; the Chapter Degree, earned by members who are active participants in their local chapters; and the State and American Degrees, which recognize significant accomplishments at the state and national levels. Each degree requires members to fulfill specific requirements, which encourages personal growth and development in agricultural education. This structure not only motivates members to strive for excellence but also fosters a sense of belonging and accomplishment within the organization.
