In which year did Future Homemakers of America and New Homemakers of America merge?

The merger of Future Homemakers of America (FHA) and New Homemakers of America (NHA) took place in 1965. This was a significant event in the history of the organizations as it allowed for a greater collective impact on youth leadership and provided a unified platform to promote education and personal development for young people, particularly in family and consumer sciences. The unification aimed to strengthen and expand youth programs across different regions, ensuring that members had access to similar opportunities and resources. This merger contributed to the growth and development of what would eventually become known as the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), which focuses on personal growth, leadership development, and the importance of family in our communities.
