Many Agriculture in the Classroom programs are implemented by local and regional organizations. The Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation supports these local and regional organizations by providing resources and facilitating a network that seeks to improve agricultural literacy — awareness, knowledge, and appreciation — among PreK-12 teachers and their students.
Local and regional Agriculture in the Classroom programs are organized differently. Some programs have several paid staff and others operate with volunteers. See the listing below to find your local contact.
