What type of events does FCCLA organize?

FCCLA, or Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, organizes a range of events that focus on student leadership and skill building, one of the most significant being competitive STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) events. These events provide members with the opportunity to showcase their skills in various areas related to family and consumer sciences, such as advocacy, leadership, and personal development. Participants engage in projects that require them to apply what they have learned in a practical, competitive environment, which helps to reinforce their skills and boost their confidence.

While workshops and retreats, financial literacy seminars, and cultural exchange programs may also be part of the broader educational mission of FCCLA, the competitive STAR events are specifically designed to highlight individual and chapter achievements and foster a spirit of competition and excellence among members. This focus on competition and recognition is a hallmark of FCCLA's programming, making it a defining feature of the events they organize.
