Explore FCCLA Programs to see which ones can be used as activities in existing classes. Examples:
A Student Body project might be incorporated into a Health or Foods class.
Power of One module “Family Ties” works well with Family Relations.
Might use the STAR Event “Job Interview” as an assignment in Personal Finance and then take the best on to compete.

28. How do I integrate FCCLA into my FACS classes?
Many National Programs can be incorporated into Leadership Classes.
Step One
After units on FCCLA, team building, the planning process and goal setting, have students chose a national program and develop a project around it. After reviewing their plans, have they carry out the project. Could also develop a Parliamentary Procedure team for STAR Events.

29. How do I integrate FCCLA into my FACS classes?
Another method of Integrating is to create mini chapters in each class with a couple of officers. The class may raise money to pay the dues of the entire class.
Remember, some National Programs can also be used as STAR Event projects.
