What are some ways to integrate LK into summer FFA activities?
There are several ways to integrate LK into summer activities, but here are five things that have worked well for me. • SAE Mentoring Programs—Older FFA members help younger members with similar SAE’s to keep up records, answer questions and provide advice throughout the summer. • Officer Retreat—Utilizing the goal-setting activities and team-building sections of the LifeKnowledge curriculum is an excellent way to plan an officer retreat and to continue the leadership development of the new officers. This will help with a smooth transition into the school year. • Chapter Meeting—Holding a chapter meeting in the summer is a great way to have fun while infusing LifeKnowledge and leadership development. Team-building activities can be an exciting way to spend a summer evening. Utilize state and chapter officers to run activities and provide the LK training behind each activity. • County Fairs, Town Fairs, Carnivals—Becoming an advocate for agriculture is an excellent way to use leadership
