Jumpstart and Activate are a part of Texas Farm Bureau's Student Success Series. Through the programs, Chireno CTE students are given the opportunity to learn more about their community, agriculture and to develop critical professional skills. Jumpstart and Activate plant the seed of Texas Farm Bureau for these students and lead them into the second half of the Student Success Series.” Chireno's CTE (PRINAFNR Class) Had 21 students learn about Texas agriculture, grew leadership skills and became more familiar with TFB through Jumpstart. Students gain an understanding of the importance leadership has in our everyday lives. They are given knowledge on business etiquette and developed critical professional skills.
