New Beginnings

Freshman year is full of New Beginnings. Everything is new; new school, new teachers, new teams, new clubs. The list can go on. It might be too much "new" all at once or it might be the "new" you have been craving. Either way, GLC is for you!

This is no ordinary leadership conference! This action-packed day is sure to be a fun way to get to know yourself and meet new people as we explore the new world of Agricultural Education (Ag Ed). Ag Ed and FFA is a home away from home for all and will help as you start to navigate this new beginning. You will spend the day diving into what makes you, YOU! and discovering ways the FFA can help you make the most out of your high school experience.

Personal development starts with the individual. Through self-discovery of talents, strengths, interests and personal characteristics, students begin their journey down the road to uncovering their life's passion. Through GLC, students will be emerged in the Who, Why, What, Where, How and Impact they can experience in Agricultural Education. This conference focuses on "ME: one's personal skills and development of the ability to be successful."

The multi-faceted approach to growing the whole person includes a focus on character and interpersonal skill development, technical acumen and critical thinking capabilities.

 

Events

From personal growth to career skill enhancement, the focus of California’s agricultural education events is always on the experiential development of the student. With activities ranging from local to national, the statewide organization offers a number of premier events each year that are suited to best meet the interests of an ever-diversifying student population.
