General Rules and Guidelines

Competitive Events align with FCCLA’s mission to concentrate on multiple roles, including family member, wage earner, and community leader. Each event is curated to help members develop specific lifelong skills in character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge, and career preparation.

The foundation of these events is the belief that anyone can succeed, and participation in FCCLA’s Competitive Events will equip students for life after high school.
