FCCLA
Family, Career and
Community Leaders of America (or FCCLA), is one of the volunteering clubs at
Mission High School.
The Advisor of FCCLA
club is Mrs. Cable, who is also a teacher of FACS and advisor of SOAR club.
Mrs. Cable has been advising this club for 17 years.
In general, FCCLA is a
service organization that teaches kids about the family, leadership skills,
career opportunities, and so on.
The difference between
FCCLA and other volunteering clubs is that the main goal of FCCLA is provide
help to people. For example, organizing fundraising for the food bank, nursing,
babysitting, etc. In addition, FCCLA provides Christmas socks for kids and Christmas trees for
families who cannot afford them. All in all, FCCLA provides any kind of help
for the community and people in need.
How can you become a
member of FCCLA? It is a limited
membership club that usually consists of 12-15 students. First, you should fill the application form
and have it signed by one of your parents. Not all applications are accepted,
so write your best. FCCLA looks for thoughtful and responsible students full of
creative ideas for helping our community.
Generally, there are
juniors and seniors, but freshmen and sophomores are always welcome.
There are several conferences
during the year that students can take a trip, e.g., conference in Spokane on
November 15-17. Also there’s a State conference in March in Billings.
FCCLA meetings are
usually held on Thursday every 2 weeks during the lunch.
If you plan to study at
college and get a scholarship, or you like volunteering and helping people,
apply for FCCLA. Take your time on the application!
Remember, it is a great
investment in your future and the future of our community.
