Who can join FCCLA?

Membership in FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) is open to any student who is currently enrolled in a family and consumer sciences course. This organization focuses on developing leadership skills and promoting personal growth in various life skills, all which are often integrated within family and consumer sciences curricula.

By requiring enrollment in these specific courses, FCCLA ensures that its members are engaged with the core subjects relevant to the organization's mission, which includes topics related to family life, community service, and career readiness. This approach helps foster a community of students who share common educational experiences and goals, making the program more cohesive and impactful.

Additionally, while there may be opportunities for students interested in business or other areas, the core requirement remains focused on family and consumer sciences, distinguishing FCCLA from other clubs that might be open to a broader range of interests. This specific focus is what strengthens the program's relevance to its members’ academic and career objectives.
