Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (formerly Future Homemakers 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 schools through grade 12. FCCLA is unique among youth organizations because its programs are planned and run by members. It is the only career and technical in-school student organization with the family as its central focus.

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.
