About the National FFA Organization
The National FFA (Future Farmers of America) Organization was founded in 1938 to develop future agricultural leaders. Over time, it has grown into a nationwide youth organization supporting diverse career pathways—from agriculture and science to education and business.
With more than a million members across thousands of chapters in all U.S. states and territories, FFA serves middle school and high school students, educators, alumni, and industry partners through programs focused on leadership, career readiness, and agricultural education.
Customer Challenges
As a career and technical student organization with a geographically distributed membership, FFA needed a reliable way to reach students and educators with educational resources and live events. Their existing approach created several pressing challenges:
-
Public video platforms were frequently blocked in schools
FFA had relied on public sites such as YouTube and Vimeo, but many school districts restrict access to these platforms. This limited student access to educational content during class.
-
A growing need for organized educational media
As the content library expanded—covering agricultural education, leadership development, workshops, convention highlights, and alumni stories—FFA needed a structured video system where users could easily search, browse by category, and find relevant materials quickly.
-
Historical content needed digitization and long-term preservation
Approaching its centennial milestone, FFA aimed to digitize reel-to-reel tapes and other physical media to preserve organizational history and make it available to new generations. This required secure, scalable storage for large volumes of digital footage.
-
Offline access for educators
Because classroom connectivity varies widely, teachers needed a way to download videos for offline use without compromising content quality or accessibility.
-
Existing tools didn’t support high-production live events at scale
FFA hosts major conferences and events that needed reliable live streaming for internal members and external audiences. Their prior tools weren’t built to consistently deliver high-quality streams to a dispersed national audience.
FFA needed a single platform that could solve school accessibility issues, support large-scale media management, enable live events, and preserve historical content—without increasing complexity for educators and students.
