Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) have focused on a variety of roles. FCCLA’s mission is to promote personal growth and leadership development through family and consumer sciences. Today, there are over 219,000 members and close to 6,500 chapters active in the 50 states and other areas in the world. The website is a great way for students, educators, and the community to familiarize themselves with the different avenues of family and consumer sciences. The website provides students with examples of skills they will need to provide a model home environment for their family and outlines leadership skills needed in the community and at work.
