• A. Two levels: Active and Alumni
• B. Three levels: Chapter, State, and National
• C. Four levels: Discovery, Greenhand, Chapter, and American
• D. Five levels: Local, Regional, State, National, and International

Answer: (C)

The correct response identifies the four distinct levels of FFA membership as Discovery, Greenhand, Chapter, and American. These levels provide a structured pathway for members to engage with the organization and develop their leadership, agricultural, and career readiness skills.

The Discovery Degree is typically awarded to younger or new members who are just beginning their journey in FFA and agriculture, allowing them to explore opportunities in the field. The Greenhand Degree signifies that a member has learned the basics of the FFA program and agronomy, marking their initial accomplishments. The Chapter Degree recognizes members who are actively involved in their local chapter and have developed their skills and knowledge further. Finally, the American Degree is the highest level of recognition awarded by FFA, granted to members who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in their FFA experience, including successful supervised agricultural experiences.

This structured progression reflects FFA’s mission to cultivate the next generation of leaders in agriculture, encouraging members to grow and advance through meaningful experiences at each level.
