What is Family, Career and Community Leaders of America?
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is a national organization of students who have taken or are taking a course in family and consumer sciences classes through grade 12.
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is incorporated as a private, nonprofit career and technical organization. FCCLA is one of the 10 national career and technical student organizations which operate through career and technical education programs in schools.
How does Family, Career and Community Leaders of America relate to class?
The main goal is the same: to improve personal, family, community, and job/career life. The family and consumer sciences teacher is the advisor of the chapter. The teacher/advisor uses the structure of the chapter to give family and consumer sciences students leadership experiences in planning and directing their own activities that in turn give family and consumer sciences class more meaning.
What is Comprehensive and Occupational?
FCCLA members maybe classified as either a comprehensive member or an occupational member. Comprehensive members are taking or have taken courses in family and consumer sciences that are broad in scope and content related to the many areas of family and consumer sciences. Occupational members are students who have or are taking courses to prepare them for entry-level or advanced career. This classification is used for internal organization purposes relating to some programs and representation of officers.
Chapter projects focus on a variety of youth concerns, including nutrition and fitness, teen pregnancy, strengthening family relationships, financial literacy, working with children and the elderly, entrepreneurship, violence prevention, and career exploration.
Who may join?
Any student who has taken or is taking a course in family and consumer sciences education may join an established chapter in his or her school. Chapters are found in public and private middle and high schools. There are chapters in all 50 states; Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; and the Virgin Islands.
Membership is voluntary for all students who have taken or are taking a course in family and consumer sciences education. Both young women and men are members of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America.
How is Family, Career and Community Leaders of America financed?
FCCLA is supported primarily by student membership dues paid annually. The organization also seeks individual, corporate, and foundation gifts. State association dues are set by each association and are voted on by the state membership. Regional and chapter dues are set by each individual group and approved by the members. In addition, chapters may receive money through donations, grants, and fundraising activities.

The National Association of State Administrators for Family and Consumer Sciences Education (NASAFACS), an affiliate of the Family and Consumer Sciences Education (FACS) Division of the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), first began development of national standards for family and consumer sciences in May 1995. The resulting work became a powerful tool for showcasing the movement from home economics, with an emphasis on technical homemaking skills, to Family and Consumer Sciences Education & Human Services, with its focus on broader family and society issues, and provided significant new direction for the field.
In May 2014, NASAFACS initiated a project to update the national standards, utilizing a highly participatory process to collect recommendations from a wide variety of stakeholders. Over 1,000 reviewers, including FACS educators and subject matter specialists from all states along with representatives of external organizations, business and industry, agencies with direct connections, and other stakeholders, reviewed the National Standards and provided recommendations for the second edition.
Missouri FCSHS is responsible for programing in these three clusters: Education and Training #5; Hospitality and Tourism #9; Human Services #10.
The Common Career Technical Core (CCTC) is a state-led initiative to establish a set of rigorous, high-quality standards for Career Technical Education (CTE) that states can adopt voluntarily. The standards have been informed by state and industry standards and developed by a diverse group of teachers, business and industry experts, administrators and researcher.
The CCTC includes a set of standards for each of the 16 Career Clusters™ and their corresponding Career Pathways that define what students should know and be able to do after completing instruction in a program of study. The CCTC also includes an overarching set of Career Ready Practices that apply to all programs of study. The Career Ready Practices include 12 statements that address the knowledge, skills and dispositions that are important to becoming career ready.
Requires separate program approval -2 or more course required in the program of study.
These Programs of Study are offered at Comprehensive High Schools or Career Centers.
Offered Only at Career Centers
Missouri's approved programs are located in comprehensive high schools, area career and technical centers, community colleges and universities.
Missouri has three higher education institutions that provide pre-service education programs in family consumer sciences and human services. For information on enrollment and requirements for teacher of family and consumer sciences please contact the college.
