You didn't have to wear the "Blue Jacket" to join the New York State FFA Alumni Association!

Agriculture teachers rely on FFA alumni members to help ease the outside commitments of teaching, bring more support to agricultural education programs and give teachers more freedom to do what they do best - teach kids!
The FFA relies on alumni members for student recruiting, scholarship money, aiding in camps, fundraising, conferences, New York State FFA convention and other personal development programs. The high level of commitment the FFA Alumni offers the New York State FFA Organization and the communities in which they live helps make FFA students' lives better.
