The FFA Enrichment Center is a **multipurpose conference, training, and educational facility** located on the
Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Ankeny Campus.
While the center benefits from generous support from valued sponsors, the shared goal has always been to
create a **self-sustaining, high-quality event venue**.
We are dedicated to providing a **high-quality learning environment** and support services for **educational programs and events** hosted by recognized members and partners of the **Iowa Agricultural Education family** and **DMACC-affiliated organizations**. The FFA Enrichment Center is also open to the public for various event needs.
Our primary mission is to support the educational and development needs of the following organizations:
- Iowa FFA Association
- Iowa Association of Agricultural Educators (IAAE)
- Postsecondary Agricultural Students of Iowa (PAS)
- Iowa FFA Alumni
- DMACC Agricultural Programs
- DMACC Continuing Education
Scheduling preference is given to these groups and their key business and industry supporters, as well as organizations that align with our mission and values.
