Indianapolis (Tuesday, May 20, 2025) – National FFA Organization is proud to announce the new cohort of National Teacher Ambassadors for the upcoming school year. There will be 65 National Teacher Ambassadors representing 28 states.
The National Teacher Ambassadors serve as positive and professional examples to more than 13,000 FFA advisors in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands during their year of service. The teacher ambassadors serve as a resource for teachers nationwide by leading, mentoring and training them through formal and informal programs such as webinars and workshops. They also provide feedback to National FFA leadership about the evolving educational landscape based on their own experiences.
“The National Teacher Ambassadors for FFA help inspire our next generation of leaders by engaging with other agricultural educators, state and national FFA staff to further the innovation and passion that they bring to life in their classrooms across the country, said Ambra Tennery, director of educational programs in the program and events division of the National FFA Organization. “Their commitment empowers students and also strengthens local and statewide communities to ensure the future of agriculture will be bright.”
