Which of the following is required to establish a new FFA chapter?

• A. Contact the state supervisor of agricultural education
• B. Submit a grant proposal to a private foundation
• C. Request approval from the city council
• D. Develop a school sports program

Answer: (A)

Starting a new FFA chapter begins with engaging the state's agricultural education leadership. The state supervisor of agricultural education (often the state FFA adviser) oversees FFA activities within the state and coordinates the chartering process with the National FFA Organization. Reaching out to this person ensures you’re aligned with state requirements, have a qualified agricultural education program in place, and can initiate the formal charter approval process. The other options don’t fit because they’re unrelated to how FFA chapters are formed: grant proposals, city council approvals, or school sports programs aren’t part of establishing an FFA chapter.
