What is PALs?

PALs is a class and an organization that is dedicated to serving the community and developing leadership skills.

Mission/Purpose:

The purpose of this organization is to create a long lasting and positive impact by mentoring, role modeling, and serving the community. 

The PAL® Peer Assistance and Leadership curriculum recognizes the potential of youth as a resource and catalyst for change in other youth. They provide a critical first line of defense in building resiliency among peers.  When participating in positive, productive pursuits with peers, youth can more easily resist negative influences. 

PAL® Peer Assistance and Leadership is an award-winning, Nationally Recognized Evidence-Based Prevention Program. The mission of PALs is to enable young people to use their potential to make a difference in their lives, schools and communities.  

The PAL® Program is:

• an opportunity for positive role models to develop closeness and trusting personal relationships with other students (often younger)

• a caring, sharing, and listening experience for both giver and receiver

• a helping hand of regular school counseling services

• something which can address academic as well as other concerns

• a way for students to develop a greater sense of ownership and responsibility in their school community

• a tool for preparing students for what lies ahead in school, particularly in the transition between grade levels or buildings

• an alternative way of reaching students and utilizing student resources

• a program in which the students themselves play an important role

• an opportunity to improve self image and develop more responsible decision-making among participants

• a path to help students recognize and solve their own problems

• a chance to have a positive impact on the overall school climate

The PAL program recognizes an innate capacity for social understanding, personal well-being, and community participation within every student. PAL nurtures and builds capacities to help youth increase resiliency and build protective factors to help them achieve school and social successes which lead to a productive life.

FFA

3-Part Model of Agricultural Education       FFA is not extracurricular! The program is part of a three-part model of education that consists of (1) classroom instruction, (2) supervised agricultural experiences and the (3) FFA.  Classroom agricultural education is applied to hands-on learning opportunities called supervised agricultural experiences (SAEs). SAEs include activities such as starting a business, working for an established company or working in production agriculture.  FFA activities vary greatly from chapter to chapter, but are based in a well-integrated curriculum. Chapter activities and programs concentrate on three areas of the FFA mission: premier leadership, personal growth and career success.

FFA Mission       FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education

FFA Motto       Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve.

FFA Creed       I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds - achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so--for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task. The creed was written by E. M. Tiffany, and adopted at the 3rd National Convention of the FFA. It was revised at the 38th Convention and the 63rd Convention.

FFA Emblem       The national FFA emblem, consisting of five symbols, is representative of the history, goals, and future of the organization. As a whole, the emblem covers the broad spectrum of FFA and agriculture. Each element within the emblem has unique significance. The cross section of the ear of corn provides the foundation of the emblem, just as corn has historically served as the foundation crop of American agriculture. It is also a symbol of unity, as corn is grown in every state of the nation. The rising sun signifies progress and holds a promise that tomorrow will bring a new day glowing with opportunity.  The plow signifies labor and tillage of the soil, the backbone of agriculture and the historic foundation of our country’s strength. The eagle is a national symbol which serves as a reminder of our freedom and ability to explore new horizons for the future of agriculture.   The owl, long recognized for its wisdom, symbolizes the knowledge required to be successful in the industry of agriculture. The words "Agricultural Education" and "FFA" are emblazoned in the center to signify the combination of learning and leadership necessary for progressive agriculture.

FFA Colors       As the blue field of our nation's flag and the golden fields of ripened corn unify our country, the FFA colors of national blue and corn gold give unity to the organization.
