Devon Energy: Investing in Wyoming's Future

At the Wyoming FFA Foundation, our work is strengthened by partners who believe in the power of young people and the communities they will one day lead. Devon Energy is one of those partners. For nearly a decade, Devon has stood alongside Wyoming FFA, supporting opportunities that help students grow as leaders, problem solvers, and engaged citizens.

What began with a shared interest in agriscience and hands-on learning has grown into a meaningful partnership rooted in aligned values. Devon Energy’s commitment to education, leadership development, and community impact mirrors the mission of FFA across our state. Through their support, Wyoming FFA members are gaining confidence, applying STEM skills in real world settings, and exploring careers that will shape Wyoming’s future. We are grateful for Devon’s continued investment in our members and proud to highlight their perspective in this conversation.

Getting to Know Devon Energy + Wyoming FFA -

Devon Energy’s relationship with the Wyoming FFA Foundation began nearly a decade ago, as our team was exploring new ways to invest in youth leadership and STEM-focused programs across our field areas, and FFA’s mission, reach, and impact quickly stood out. What began as an introduction through the Agriscience Fair has grown into a meaningful, long-term partnership centered on opportunity, education, and community empowerment.

Why Wyoming FFA?

Supporting Wyoming FFA is a natural fit for Devon because our values align closely with the organization’s commitment to leadership, hands-on learning, and community service. We believe strong, vibrant communities start by investing in young people. FFA’s focus on developing students who are curious and community-minded mirrors our own commitment.

Through FFA, we see students gain confidence, apply STEM concepts in real-world settings and discover careers that strengthen communities. That is the type of future-focused development that makes a meaningful difference.

The Impact of Partnership

This partnership is more than scholarships; it connects our teams with students and educators who are shaping Wyoming’s future. Whether it’s through Agriscience Fair projects, career development events, or community service initiatives, FFA members consistently demonstrate a readiness to lead.

Why Investing in Future Leaders Matters

Devon is committed to investing in youth programs like FFA because they build strong foundations for long-term success. When students have opportunities for leadership development and career exploration, they are better prepared to contribute to their hometowns and strengthen their communities.

Looking Ahead

As we continue our work with the Wyoming FFA Foundation, we hope to help expand opportunities for students throughout the state. We want to see even more young people discover their potential and gain the skills they need to build bright futures.
