State Teach Ag Results (STAR) Program Overview

NAAE launched the State Teach Ag Results (STAR) program in the spring of 2014 as part of the National Teach Ag Campaign to increase recruitment and retention efforts at the state level. The STAR program is designed to assist states in creating sustainable and effective recruitment and retention plans. STAR states receive in-kind design and consultation services, access to STAR grant funds, priority preference for Teach Ag Ambassador positions, promotion and assessment summaries.
