Will's FFA-ILSSO Trip to Spain & Portugal

As many of you know, this year I have the privilege of serving as the Alabama FFA State President.  As state officers, we have the opportunity to apply for a spot to attend the International Leadership Seminar for State Officers (ILSSO), and I was fortunate enough to be one of the 75 students chosen! Our trip will span from January 2nd through January 16th and will include many stops throughout the countries of Spain and Portugal.  Throughout the experience, we will visit farms and agribusinesses, learn about the local culture and work to develop ourselves as culturally aware students, all while representing and advocating for American Agriculture.  If you are interested in seeing the full itinerary you can check out this link!

However, as you can imagine, this once in a lifetime experience comes at a price.  On top of the $4600 tuition, we are also responsible for our flight to and from New York City where we will be departing as a group.  A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated and will surely be put to good use.  Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about my story.  If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email to [email redacted]

Thank you for your consideration in this endeavor. I know that I would not be able to do half of what I do if it were not for the agricultural community and supporters around me. Whether you are able to support financially or not, I ask that you keep this group of students and advisors in your prayers from January 2nd to the 16th. I am truly looking forward to this amazing opportunity to grow my global agriculture knowledge and gain leadership skills for the future.

Thank you for considering my request.
