At the 96th Nebraska FFA State Convention, over 800 FFA members made a positive impact on the Lincoln community and beyond while putting their leadership into action.
In partnership with Farm Credit Services of America, Tallgrass, and Mercy Meals, Nebraska FFA members provided indirect service engagement by packaging thousands of meals that will be delivered to children in need throughout the world. During last year’s Living to Serve portion of the convention, over 110,000 meals were packaged. We successfully exceeded that record with nearly 120,000 meals packaged by the end of the 2024 event!
The last line of the FFA motto is “Living to Serve” which signifies the vital role service plays in our organization. Members impact their local communities across Nebraska through service engagement, community service, and service learning. Students leverage their creative thinking and problem-solving skills to create local solutions to meet the community needs.
More than 8,000 FFA members, advisors, and guests come to Lincoln to celebrate the Nebraska State FFA Convention. Members participate in general sessions, competitions, educational tours, leadership workshops, and a Career Fair and Expo. Events are hosted at Pinnacle Bank Arena, Haymarket-area hotels, and the University of Nebraska – Lincoln East Campus.
