What is an FFA social worker?

FFA Social Workers, or Foster Family Agency Social Workers, are professionals who support and supervise foster children and their foster families within a foster family agency. Their responsibilities include conducting home visits, providing counseling and support to children and foster parents, monitoring the child's well-being, and ensuring compliance with state regulations. They also coordinate services, facilitate communication between all parties involved, and help children adjust to their foster placements. FFA Social Workers play a critical role in ensuring that children in foster care receive the support and care they need.

How does an FFA social worker typically collaborate with foster families and agency staff to support child placements?

As an FFA Social Worker, you will work closely with foster families to ensure stable and supportive placements for children. This involves conducting regular home visits, providing ongoing training and guidance to foster parents, and coordinating with agency staff such as case managers and therapists. Collaboration is essential, as you'll often participate in interdisciplinary meetings to develop and update care plans that address each child's unique needs. Clear communication and teamwork are key skills that help ensure the well-being and progress of the children in your care.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FFA social worker, and why are they important?

To thrive as an FFA Social Worker, you need a degree in social work (often an MSW), state licensure, and experience with family or foster care services. Familiarity with case management software, child welfare regulations, and documentation systems is typically required. Compassion, cultural competence, and strong interpersonal communication help build trust and effectively support children and families. These skills and qualifications are crucial for ensuring child safety, compliance, and successful family placements in foster care settings.

The anticipated start date for this opportunity is August 1, 2027.
The successful candidate will contribute to the continued growth of the ALEC academic programs, specifically the Applied Youth Development (AYD) Master's degree, the Agricultural Leadership (ALED) degree, the Agricultural Education (AGED), and/or the PhD in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications. Candidates for Assistant Professor will be tenure-track, and candidates for Associate Professor will be considered for either tenure-track or tenure upon hire, depending on their qualifications. The position carries a Division of Effort of 50% research, 40% teaching, and 10% service.

Importantly, we seek a scholar whose work centers on approaches to engage youth, families, and communities around youth and youth-serving organizations.
Serious consideration will be given to applicants with experience in non-profit youth organizations; youth organizations such as 4-H Extension and the National FFA Organization; youth engagement in rural settings; junior livestock associations, youth camps and training programs; and Youth/Adult partnerships. Furthermore, the applicant should be familiar with the Land Grant Mission, established by the Morrill Act of 1862.
The Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications is housed in the heart of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The department is home to nearly 1,100 undergraduate students, 200 graduate students, and over 30 faculty scholars from around the globe. The department website provides extensive information about the work being conducted.
