What are STAR Events in FCCLA?

STAR Events, which stands for Students Taking Action with Recognition, are competitive events in FCCLA that provide members with the opportunity to showcase their skills in various areas related to family and consumer sciences. These events cover a wide range of topics, including leadership, entrepreneurship, hospitality, and more, allowing participants to demonstrate their knowledge, creativity, and practical skills in a competitive format.

Members participate in STAR Events to gain real-world experience, improve their skills, and receive recognition for their accomplishments. This aligns with FCCLA's mission of empowering students through practical learning experiences. Each event typically involves preparing a project, presentation, or performance based on specific guidelines, which encourages participants to engage deeply with their chosen topic.

While team-building exercises, networking opportunities, and volunteer service projects are important aspects of FCCLA's programming and overall mission, they do not define the specific purpose of STAR Events, which is primarily focused on competition and skill demonstration.
