Over 1,000 minutes of “Celebrating” the
opportunities and benefits of Agricultural
Education! •
Getting an “All Access Pass” to the Greenhand
Leadership Conference helped me gain a new
understanding of the three circle model of agriculture
education. I am very interested in agriculture and
getting to attend GLC was a great experience that
opened my eyes.
The Greenhand Leadership Conference consisted of
many sessions and team building activities, I have
never experienced anything like this before! I learned
a lot about FFA and agriculture education and all the
opportunities it has to offer. I was taught the six benefits
of of Agricultural Education: Learning, Experience,
Leadership, Competition,Travel, and Personal Growth.
I also gained new knowledge about the opportunities I
could experience like different leadership conferences
such as MFE, ALA and SLE. I also got a better
understanding of what an SAE project is and cannot
wait to start my own SAE.
The overall experience was amazing and I wish to use
what I learned in my future as an FFA member. Thank
you for my teachers who selected me, to those leaders
at GLC, and those fellow students I met. I would like to
give a shout out to my team leader Russell because he
in my opinion was the coolest facilitator!
