Collbran Job Corps Center has an excellent relationship with the local high school  Future Farmers of America (FFA) is a very active program at the high school.  Mrs. Ruth Shepardson and FFA students (including two JC students), did a presentation about FFA during Monday assembly on 11/30/15.

There was a excellent power point describing all FFA is involved in.  Not only does FFA teach young people about farming, ranching and agriculture, it provides education in areas of business, food production and distribution as well as classes in botany, public speaking,  merchandising, and advertising.  Many JC students are now interested in joining FFA and will start attending meetings in January 2016.  This is another way Collbran Job Corps is involved in promoting the Department of Agriculture’s “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” programs.
