Incoming high school sophomores and juniors can sign up to participate in the 2026 Engage program offered through Texas Farm Bureau’s (TFB) Student Success Series.

The in-person events will take place in each TFB district.

Through Engage, students get the opportunity to meet with and learn from community leaders in agriculture and western industries.

They will gain insight into the free enterprise system and how it impacts business and consumer structures in the U.S. and abroad.

Students will also develop a personal brand and learn how to have an engaging presence on social media and digital environments.

“Engage events offer students an invaluable experience to network with peers across their Farm Bureau district and gain knowledge that will be helpful as they continue their high school and post-secondary journey,” McKenna Bush, TFB leadership coordinator, said. “They will develop leadership skills, gain insights into agriculture and learn more about the free enterprise system.”

The program focuses on leadership development, community engagement and a deeper understanding of TFB’s mission to support agriculture.

Students will learn from county leaders, TFB Organization division staff, TFB field representatives and TFB state directors on how they can make an impact in their schools and communities.

“Hearing these individuals share their experiences and involvement in Farm Bureau encourages students to take advantage of opportunities available to them now and in the future,” Bush said.

Each event also will allow the students to tour a local agricultural operation.

Registration is underway for the free 2026 Engage events. Registration closes two weeks prior to each event.

The district events will be hosted in April and May.

Information on dates and locations, as well as the registration links, are available on the Student Success Series webpage at texasfarmbureau.org/student-success-series.

The Engage program is part of TFB’s broader Student Success Series, which includes Jumpstart, Activate and Thrive, programs available for students in eighth, ninth and twelfth grade.
