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 227,000 members in 7,100 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. |
