• FCCLA (Family Career Community Leaders of America) - The goal of Family Career Community Leaders of America is to help youth assume their roles in society through home economics education in the areas of personal growth, family life, vocational preparation, and community involvement.This stated goal is the same for vocational home economics programs and the student organization: thus Family Career Community Leaders of America is a co-curricular rather than an extra-curricular activity.
