What kinds of activities can FCCLA members participate in at the state level?

FCCLA members at the state level have the opportunity to engage in a variety of enriching activities that focus on developing leadership skills, teamwork, and personal growth. Workshops provide valuable training and education on various topics relevant to Family and Consumer Sciences, while competitions allow members to showcase their skills and knowledge in a competitive environment. Leadership activities are designed to empower members to take initiative, make decisions, and inspire others, all of which are essential qualities in future leaders.

These activities are planned to align with the mission of FCCLA, which promotes personal growth and leadership development through family and consumer sciences education. Engaging in hands-on, practical experiences helps members apply what they learn and prepares them for real-world scenarios, enhancing their personal and professional development. Other options might fall short of this focus; for instance, field trips and parties are more recreational, while online training sessions and research projects may not fully encapsulate the dynamic leadership and competition aspects that FCCLA emphasizes at the state level.
