Planning Guide – Peers
This National FFA “Steps to Effective Advocacy” Planning Guide (PEERS edition) walks an individual FFA member or small group through a four-step Agricultural Literacy and Advocacy Model—plan, develop, do, and reflect—to create career profiles and advocate to peers about careers available in both agriculture and STEM. It includes guided questions, examples, and ten reproducible resource handouts (SMART goals, advocacy plan, career profile templates and examples, a perception survey, project timeline, SWOT analysis, social media tips, press release templates, and a review/adapt worksheet) for planning and conducting a complete advocacy activity or event.
