Community Service

The FCCLA Community Service Program guides students to develop, plan, carry out, and evaluate projects that improve the quality of life in their communities. Through their projects, members experience character development and improve their critical and creative thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge, and career preparation.

Community Service Topic Areas:

To help members strengthen their Community Service projects, this program:

• helps young people build skills for family, career, and community roles; provides youth-centered learning experiences related to Family and Consumer Sciences Education;
• encourages young people to develop the positive character traits of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship

In addition to local and state projects, FCCLA implements an annual Outreach Project, which has a national focus. With over 225,000 members in over 7,000 chapters working together, these projects have a lasting effect on both participants and those receiving the donation.
