What year was the Partners in Active Learning Support (PALS) program launched?

The Partners in Active Learning Support (PALS) program was launched in 1990. This initiative was created to support agricultural education and foster partnerships between FFA chapters and educational institutions or community organizations. By establishing this program, the FFA aimed to enhance hands-on learning experiences for students, connecting them more closely with their communities and promoting active involvement in agricultural education. The year 1990 is significant as it marks the beginning of this supportive and collaborative educational approach within the FFA framework, differentiating it from other initiatives that may have started in years surrounding it.
