The Indiana FFA is a statewide youth organization of over 12,500 student members as part of 215 local FFA chapters in 90 of the 92 counties in Indiana. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The Indiana FFA is a subsidiary of The National FFA Organization, which operates under a federal charter granted by the 81st United States Congress and it is an integral part of public instruction in agriculture in middle and high schools in Indiana. The Indiana State Department of Agriculture and provides leadership at the state level and helps set direction for FFA as a service to local agricultural education programs. These letters are a part of our history and our heritage that will never change. But FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture. FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of agricultural career pathways. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But, we are the Future Biologists, Future Chemists, Future Veterinarians, Future Engineers and Future Entrepreneurs of America, as well.

While traveling across the state and facilitating workshops on motivation, State President Kaitlyn Maruszewski has had the chance to hear from hundreds of students about the things that inspire them most. Those conversations sparked a reflection of her own, as she shares ten things she can’t live without- from agriculture and faith to house plants and ice cream.

“I wanna be with you everywhere!” 💙✨

From Washington, DC to Indianapolis, IN, serving as Indiana FFA State Officers has taken us more places than we ever imagined.

The best part isn’t the miles traveled, but it’s the people we get to serve and the team we get to serve alongside.

We can’t wait to see the next team step forward to serve Indiana FFA and begin their own unforgettable journey.
