With school in full swing, thousands of young people are joining FFA in Minnesota. To support the development of these young people, future leaders for agriculture and their local communities, the Minnesota FFA Foundation is again offering the Blue Jackets Bright Futures program which provides official FFA jackets to members who have completed an application indicating their desire to be involved with FFA programs. 

This is the 18th year the Minnesota FFA Foundation has offered the program. 

“The Blue Jackets Bright Future program is a valuable program providing students with an FFA jacket to support their FFA involvement. A personalized FFA jacket provides recipients with a sense of pride while giving them ownership of their FFA experiences, said Mary Hoffmann, Minnesota FFA Association Executive Director. “FFA plays an important role in developing agricultural and leadership skills in students while preparing them for their future careers.”

To support the Blue Jacket Bright Future program, people can find more details and the donation brochure on the MN FFA Foundation’s website: www.mnffafoundation.org/blue-jackets-bright-futures.

“The jacket is a symbol of tradition and pride for those who have worn the official FFA jacket. Many past members have sponsored jackets, but it’s not uncommon for individuals and companies to sponsor jackets because they appreciate what the organization does to develop young leaders,” said Val Aarsvold, Minnesota FFA Foundation Executive Director.
