What is the focus of FCCLA's national programs?

The focus of FCCLA's national programs centers around promoting healthy lifestyles and leadership development. This emphasis reflects the organization's mission to empower students to take control of their own health and well-being while also developing essential leadership skills. Programs under this umbrella tackle various aspects of personal well-being, such as nutrition, physical health, and emotional wellness, encouraging students to make informed decisions that positively impact their lives and their communities. Additionally, leadership development initiatives equip students with the skills they need to be effective leaders in their schools and communities, fostering confidence and competence that will benefit them in their future endeavors.

While academic excellence, financial literacy, and community service are important, they do not encapsulate the primary goals of FCCLA's national programs in the same way that the focus on healthy lifestyles and leadership development does.
