ABOUT

Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is a national Career and Technical Student

Organization (CTSO) for students in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education in public and private

schools. FCCLA offers intra-curricular resources and opportunities for students to pursue careers that

support families. 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.

The work of FCCLA helps students and teachers focus on various youth concerns, including parenting,

family relationships, substance abuse, peer pressure, sustainability, nutrition and fitness, teen violence, and

career preparation in four specific Career Pathways. Involvement in FCCLA allows members 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.

MISSION

To promote personal growth and leadership development through Family and Consumer Sciences

education. Focusing on the multiple roles of family member, wage earner, and community leader,
