Washington Leadership Conference Attendee Application
*This competitive application is due by April 24th, 2026 by 4:00pm for consideration. No money will be accepted at this time.

The Washington Leadership Conference (WLC) is an incredible leadership experience where FFA members from across the country travel to Washington, D.C. to grow as leaders, build confidence, and learn how to make a positive impact in their schools and communities. During the conference, students participate in meaningful leadership sessions, team-building activities, personal growth workshops, and service-focused discussions that challenge them to discover their strengths and lead with purpose. Students also have the opportunity to explore our nation’s capital, visit historical landmarks, and experience the excitement of traveling to a major city, sometimes for the first time.

WLC is designed to help students return home inspired and ready to make a difference in their chapter, school, and community. It is a unique opportunity to meet FFA members from across the United States, create lasting memories, and represent North FFA on a national level.

Due to the nature of the trip, including airfare, hotel, transportation, meals, conference registration, and sightseeing activities, the total cost to attend the Washington Leadership Conference can range from approximately $1,500 to $2,000 per student. However, there will be several fundraising opportunities available to help lower individual costs, and the full balance will not be due all at once. Payments can be made over time, and our chapter will work with students and families to make this meaningful leadership experience as affordable as possible.

Potential Dates: 

Week 2: June 9-12
Week 3: June 16-19
