Who may join? |
Any student who has taken or is taking a course in family and consumer sciences education may join an established chapter in his or her school. Chapters are found in public and private middle and high schools. There are chapters in all 50 states; Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; and the Virgin Islands.
Membership is voluntary for all students who have taken or are taking a course in family and consumer sciences education. Both young women and men are members of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. |
|
FCCLA is supported primarily by student membership dues paid annually. The organization also seeks individual, corporate, and foundation gifts. State association dues are set by each association and are voted on by the state membership. Regional and chapter dues are set by each individual group and approved by the members. In addition, chapters may receive money through donations, grants, and fundraising activities.

Membership Campaign
|
For information on the national membership campaign, visit: http://fcclainc.org/membership/membership-campaign.php
"Show-Me 5!" membership campaign is Missouri's annual membership campaign to encourage chapters to get 5 new members. All chapters who reach this goal are recognized in the State Leadership Conference program. | ||
|
The main goal is the same: to improve personal, family, community, and job/career life. The family and consumer sciences teacher is the adviser of the chapter. The teacher/adviser uses the structure of the chapter to give family and consumer sciences students leadership experiences in planning and directing their own activities that in turn give family and consumer sciences class more meaning.
Chapter projects focus on a variety of youth concerns, including nutrition and fitness, teen pregnancy, strengthening family relationships, financial literacy, working with children and the elderly, entrepreneurship, violence prevention, and career exploration |
