More than 300 Kentucky chapter members, 1,300 youth members and adult advisers of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) attended a Nov. 10-12 meeting in Washington, D.C., and the annual FCCLA National Cluster Meeting Nov. 17-19 in Oklahoma City.
The meeting’s theme – “Be Inspired by FCCLA” – encouraged the youth to lead others, develop new skills, explore career opportunities, build strong families and make a difference in their communities. The meeting also provided opportunities for members to compete in career-focused skill demonstration competitions and team events that challenged students’ knowledge in personal finance, consumer responsibilities, technology, health and safety, and more.
By attending national cluster meetings, students were given opportunities to demonstrate skills they’ve learned through FCCLA, while experiencing a new city, culture and situations that they may encounter in their colleges and careers.
