What is the purpose of the Greenhand Degree?

The Greenhand Degree serves to recognize first-year FFA members for their commitment to agriculture and their involvement in the FFA organization. It symbolizes the initial milestone in a member's journey within FFA, highlighting their dedication to learning and personal growth in agricultural education. This degree encourages new members to engage with the program and fosters a sense of belonging in the FFA community. Achieving the Greenhand Degree is often a source of pride for members as it indicates their initial steps into leadership and participation in agricultural events and activities. This recognition is essential for motivating new members to continue their involvement and develop their skills further within the organization.
