Held annually during the second week of February in conjunction with Career and Technical Education Month, FCCLA Week celebrates FCCLA and the positive impact family and consumer sciences can have on society.
Each day of FCCLA Week has a unique theme, which allows members, advisers and supporters to create a customizable and educational experience.
