MN FCCLA - Empowering dynamic youth leaders and preparing them for success in their careers and community life.

CONFIDENCE! ACHIEVEMENT! TEAMWORK! LEADERSHIP!

Work and community life has never been more complex to navigate or intimidating for young people to enter into. An alarming number of middle school and high school students feel overwhelmed, stressed and powerless over their future. FCCLA directly addresses these anxieties by giving students opportunities to develop skills and confidence to thrive in their career journey and rise to whatever challenges life has to offer.

FCCLA prepares students for their careers and community lives through hands-on leadership experiences. Students have opportunities to step up in planning and leading community service projects, fundraisers, managing their local groups, planning and facilitating events, leading workshops to their peers, and setting the direction for the organization. This youth led approach relies on interactive methods to engage youth in career exploration, professional development, personal growth and making strong social connections. Through national programs, lesson plans, workshops, service projects, and events at local, area, state and national levels -- members get a well rounded experience preparing them for whatever life has to offer.
