| FCCLA: The Ultimate Leadership Experience is a dynamic and effective
national student organization that helps young men and women become leaders
and address important personal, family, work, and societal issues through
Family and Consumer Sciences Education.
FCCLA has more than 225,000 members and nearly 7,000 chapters from 50 state
associations and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands. The organization has involved more than ten million youth since its
founding in 1945.
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is unique among youth
organizations because its programs are planned and run by members. It is the
only career and technical in-school student organization with the family as
its central focus. Participation in national programs and chapter activities
helps members become strong leaders in their families, careers, and
communities.
Chapter projects focus on a variety of youth concerns, including youth
safety, family relationships, financial literacy, peer pressure, community
service, nutrition and fitness, youth violence, and career exploration.
Involvement in FCCLA offers members the opportunity to expand their
leadership potential and develop skills for life—planning, goal setting,
problem solving, decision making, and interpersonal communication—
necessary in the home and workplace.
