Who is eligible to be a member of FCCLA?

Membership in FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) is specifically designed for students who are currently enrolled in or have previously taken a Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) class. This requirement emphasizes FCCLA's commitment to the areas of family, career, and community development, as well as the practical skills gained through FCS courses. Additionally, students must pay membership dues, which contribute to the functioning and activities of the organization.

The focus on having taken or currently being engaged in an FCS class ensures that members share a common foundation of knowledge and interests that align with FCCLA's mission and objectives. This creates a relevant and cohesive experience for members, allowing them to engage in leadership activities and competitions that are closely tied to their educational background. Being part of FCCLA provides students with opportunities in leadership, community service, and personal development that stem from their coursework in Family and Consumer Sciences.
