“FCCLA is a student led organization that helps you become more involved in the community and a better leader. To me, it means a group of people that can get together to better their surroundings and have fun.”

“Since FCCLA’s main focus is the family, it can help you overcome problems with your parents and siblings, so that one day you can establish a functional family of your own.”

“Going to the regional and state meetings. You have fun while learning to present yourself professionally through your STAR Events. I learn new things every time I go to a meeting!”
