BLOG
After retiring as the 2022-23 National FFA eastern region vice president, Miriam Hoffman started a blog to encourage young people to face their future with humble confidence.
As she puts it, “You don’t have to plan out your whole life in order to simply take the next step.” Hoffman writes about how she strives to live out those words as a young college student who still has many decisions to make about her own future.
MULTIMEDIA SERIES
Jason Holland started My FFA Experience in 2020 as his supervised agricultural experience, and it was originally called Jason’s FFA Experience. He later rebranded the platform to reflect how each member’s experience is different.
The platform offers a YouTube video series, blog and social media content to showcase Holland’s tips and tricks on all things FFA. In 2022, My FFA Experience was featured on RFD-TV and won a Missouri FFA agricultural communications proficiency award.
