Which level of FFA membership is awarded to members who have demonstrated significant achievement?

The American Degree Membership is awarded to members who have demonstrated significant achievement in their FFA career. This designation recognizes the individual’s commitment, leadership, and accomplishments in agricultural education and FFA activities. To qualify for the American Degree, members must meet several criteria, including a substantial record of participation in FFA events, leadership roles, community service, and completion of a certain number of hours in their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program. Achieving this prestigious degree indicates a high level of dedication and success, setting members apart within the organization and highlighting their hard work and contributions to the FFA and agriculture as a whole.

In contrast, Active Membership is typically aimed at members currently participating in FFA, while Greenhand Membership is an introductory level for new members. Chapter Membership is not a recognized member level but refers to being a part of one's local chapter. The American Degree, therefore, stands out as the pinnacle of achievement in FFA membership.
