A National Community Where Students Thrive and Educators Lead

Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is a dynamic, student-led organization that connects classroom learning to leadership, service, and real-world career preparation.

FCCLA is not a club, and it is not extracurricular. It is an intracurricular Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) that is integrated into Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education. It transforms what students are already learning in the classroom into hands-on opportunities to lead, grow, and succeed.

From Culinary Arts to Fashion Design, Education and Training to Nutrition, Human Development to Hospitality, FCCLA helps students in FCS courses advance their knowledge, apply it in meaningful ways, and prepare for careers that support families and strengthen communities.
