The FCCLA Community Service Program guides students to develop, plan, carry out, and evaluate projects that improve the quality of life in their communities.  Community Service helps young people build skills for family, career, and community roles; provides youth-centered learning experiences related to Family and Consumer Sciences Education; and encourages young people to develop the positive character traits of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

Calling all chapter advisers: become part of the national story on community service!  The Obama Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) is encouraging all organizations like FCCLA to get involved in planning, organizing, and staging non-partisan community service events to be held on January 19, 2009, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. According to the PIC, these events will populate a new website dedicated to promoting and organizing this day of service.  Click here for more information about getting involved.  The website for the event is www.pic2009.org/event.  This is an opportunity for FCCLA chapters to showcase our community service projects to the nation!
