Everyone is part of a family, and Family Career and Community
Leaders of America is the only national career and technical student
organization with the family as its central focus. Since 1945, FCCLA
members have been making a difference in their families, careers and
communities by addressing important personal, work and societal
issues through family and consumer sciences education. Today over
220,000 members in nearly 7,000 chapters are active in a network of
associations in 50 states as well as in the District of Columbia,
the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Chapter
projects focus on a variety of youth concerns, including teen
pregnancy, parenting, family relationships, substance abuse, peer
pressure, environment, nutrition and fitness, teen 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.
