What is FCCLA?

Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is a national Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for students in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education in public and private schools through grade 12. FCCLA offers intra-curricular resources and opportunities for students to pursue careers that support families. Since 1945, FCCLA members have made a difference in their families, careers, and communities by addressing important personal, work, and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences education.

​

Georgia FCCLA is the state association of the national organization. We work to provide opportunities for students across the state through our events, programs, and resources. On local, regional, and state levels, we assist and guide our students to develop skills, prepare for their futures, and serve our communities.
