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 225,000 members in nearly 7,000 chapters are active in a network of associations in 50 statesas

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.
