FFA is structured on three levels: local, state, and national. 

National FFA Organization

- At the national level, FFA is led by a board of directors and six student national officers.

- Together they act on recommendations from the national convention delegates and agricultural education's stakeholders to set the vision and policy for FFA.

State FFA Associations

- State FFA Associations function within the constitution of the National FFA Organization but may also create individual leadership structures, awards, programs and competitions.

- State FFA officers lead the membership of the state associations and are elected by state FFA convention delegates.

- Local FFA Chapters are chartered through the state associations.

Local FFA Chapters

- The heart of the National FFA Organization is at the local chapter level. FFA chapter may be chartered in any public school with an agricultural education program.

- Leadership is provided by student officers who are elected each year by the chapter’s members, and by the agriculture teacher who serves as the advisor for the chapter.
