In what year did FHA change its name to FCCLA?

FHA, which stood for Future Homemakers of America, changed its name to FCCLA, or Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, in 1999. This change was part of an effort to reflect the organization’s broader focus on personal and family-related aspects, career preparedness, and community engagement, rather than solely homemaking. The rebranding aimed to modernize the image of the organization and appeal to a wider audience, including both young men and women involved in family and consumer sciences. The name change symbolizes a shift in the mission to encompass a broader educational scope, preparing students for leadership and service roles in their families, careers, and communities.
