Advocacy Workshop
#Speak Ag is a one-hour FFA leadership workshop developed by the 2014-2015 National Officer Team that teaches students to become advocates for agriculture. Through interactive experiences, students discover what advocacy means, understand why driving the conversation about agriculture matters, and learn the “Educate, Plan, Act” model for successfully telling their agricultural story.
