Families First
The FCCLA Families First program is designed to help young people explore, understand, and appreciate diverse aspects of families and family life. Families First recognizes the need for FCCLA members to create strong family relationships where skills are developed, differences are accepted, rights are respected, and support is offered.
The goals of the program are to:
- Help youth become strong family members and leaders for today and tomorrow
- Strengthen families as a foundational unit of society
- Explore careers that support families
- Provide safety education for youth to foster safe and healthy families and communities
- Understand how nurturing children build strong families
