About FCCLA
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is a nonprofit national career and technical student organization for young men and women in Family and Consumer Sciences education in public and private school through grade 12. Everyone is part of a family, and FCCLA is the only national Career and Technical Student Organization with the family as its central focus. Since 1945, FCCLA members have been making a difference in their families, careers, and communities by addressing important personal, work, and societal issues through family and consumer sciences education.
Today over 219,000 members in nearly 6,500 chapters are active in a network of associations in 50 states as well as in the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Chapter projects focus on a variety of youth concerns, including teen pregnancy, parenting, family relationships, substance abuse, peer pressure, environment, nutrition and fitness, teen violence, and career exploration. Involvement in FCCLA offers members the opportunity to expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life -- planning, goal setting, problem solving, decision making, and interpersonal communication -- necessary in the home and workplace.

CCLA Upcoming Events and Community Service
Cupcakes for Clause
Students will bake cupcakes during foods classes to be sold during activity period. Money raised will be used to purchase Christmas gifts for needy children in Russellville and to sponsor a teenager in need at RHS.
Students in the Foods and Nutrition Classes baked 250 cupcakes over the past few weeks for the FCCLA "Cupcakes for Clause" Community Service fundraiser. FCCLA members sold the cupcakes during activity period and raised $275.00. The money will be used to purchase toys to be donated to the Russellville Fire Department Toy Drive.
Be sure to check out the photos in photo gallery of the cupcake fundraiser. Special thanks to Santa who visited one day to help sale cupcakes!
SafePlace Donations
Members will collect needed supplies for SafePlace Home for Abused Women and Children. Along with donations, FCCLA members will hear from SafePlace representatives about the home and how to receive services.
