More than 1,800 FFA members and 250 chaperons will travel to Washington, D.C., this summer for the 2026 Washington Leadership Conference.
This is considered one of the FFA Organization’s premier leadership development events.
The conference runs now through July 10th in five week-long sessions and is designed to help students develop leadership skills while exploring the nation’s capital.
Participants will learn principles such as exploration, encouragement, advocacy, and service, while creating a Living to Serve Plan they can take home and implement in their communities.
The week-long program includes leadership training, visits to national monuments, tours of Capitol Hill, and opportunities to develop community service projects.
Students will also visit Arlington National Cemetery or museums on the National Mall before concluding the conference with a reflection on their experience.
“The Conference inspires FFA members to become change makers in their communities,” organizers said, emphasizing the conference’s focus on leadership, service, and civic engagement.
