Which level of FFA membership is typically for middle school students?

The level of FFA membership typically designated for middle school students is the Discovery level. This membership was created to provide younger students with an opportunity to engage with FFA activities before they enter high school. The Discovery membership aims to introduce students to the world of agriculture, leadership, and service through a variety of hands-on experiences and learning opportunities at FFA events.

This membership also helps to nurture their interest in agriculture and encourages them to become involved in FFA as they transition to high school. The structure of the Discovery level allows students to participate in FFA activities while still in middle school, fostering a sense of community and belonging within the organization.

Active membership, on the other hand, is focused on high school students engaged in agriculture education programs. Alumni membership is for former FFA members and supporters of the organization, while honorary membership is awarded to individuals who contribute significantly to FFA but do not fit into the typical membership categories. These distinctions clarify why Discovery is the appropriate choice for middle school students.
