determination to succeed.
Emblem
The FCCLA emblem shows that FCCLA is a dynamic, active organization bound for the future. The
dominant collegiate lettering articulates a focus on education and student leadership. The swooping
arrow arch is a common motif in today's designs and definitely embodies an active organization that
moves toward new arenas. The color of the emblem is one of the organizational colors—red. With it's
space-like feel, this emblem is sure to last well into the future, but will always be linked to the time when
FHA at the turn of the century changed to FCCLA.
Motto
“Toward New Horizons” This motto is a challenge. It reminds members that their contributions to
home life today will influence the kinds of homes they have tomorrow; that the family life of members
will influence the community and the world.
Flower
The red rose. The rose, due to its beauty, has always been a favorite flower. It is found in almost every

of America for beauty in everyday living.

National Outreach Project
Each year Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, Inc. (FCCLA) establishes a National
Outreach Project with a partner organization to reach out in their communities and help work towards a
cause. National Executive Council (NEC) members and other FCCLA staff members discuss and present
ways FCCLA and another organization can work together on a National Outreach Project.
FCCLA’s National Outreach Project is a national community service activity that gives state delegations/
members the opportunity to make a united impact concerning a need that the National Executive Council
decides to address. Participation from FCCLA members is optional. When state delegations/members
choose to participate, each state/member works with their local chapters and members to fundraise and
collect items from schools and communities through service. The goal of this project is to have each
student get actively involved in making a difference by uniting together with the National Outreach
Project. FCCLA wants members to see and know first hand that even a small effort made by many can
have a huge and positive impact on others.
FCCLA started the National Outreach Project at the 1997 National Leadership Meeting in San Diego, CA
where 38 states participated in donating over 6,000 various items to shelters/agencies in San
Diego. FCCLA continued the project at the 1998 National Leadership Meeting in New Orleans, LA where
46 states donated almost 10,000 items. The focus of the project changed in 2000 to giving to a national
charity instead of collecting items to donate.
The success continues year to year and today FCCLA is still working toward donating money.
Listed below are National Outreach Projects and their total amounts raised from past years.

Leadership Development
Leadership is a primary focus of FCCLA. As students take responsibility for planning, implementing, and
evaluating chapter projects and activities, they develop the skills needed to take the lead in their families,
careers, and communities.
Introduction to Leadership
All members have leadership potential whether or not they hold formal chapter leadership positions. It
often comes down to exploring abilities, taking risks, and developing a personal leadership style. A
successful chapter will recognize that it needs different kinds of leaders for different experiences and will
encourage leadership diversity.
Are you a member looking for FCCLA leadership opportunities? Are you an officer looking for
information to use in your state? You've come to the right place! Here you can find information on
trainings and/or workshop ideas, national and state level opportunities, fundraising projects, and other
