What does the term "chapter" refer to in FCCLA?

In FCCLA, the term "chapter" specifically refers to a local group of FCCLA members within a school. This local chapter is where members come together to participate in activities, develop leadership skills, and engage in community service projects. Each chapter operates within its school environment, allowing students to connect and collaborate on issues that matter to them while also promoting the goals of FCCLA on a grassroots level.

While there are national gatherings, regional conferences, and online platforms for members, these do not fit the definition of a "chapter." Instead, they refer to broader organizational structures or events that encompass multiple chapters or provide additional resources for members. The focus of the term "chapter" is clearly on the localized aspect of membership and the opportunities for students to become actively involved in their school community through FCCLA.
