Leadership And You (NAPSA)—Today’s teens want to make a difference in their own lives and in their communities. Fortunately, there is an organization to help them. Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)is a nonprofit national career and technical student organization for young men and women through grade 12 with family as its central focus. Across the country more than 227,000 members in 7,100 chapters are involved in FCCLA: The Ultimate Leadership Experience. FCCLA members become leaders in their families, careers, and communities. Everyone benefits when a chapter is formed and projects are completed. You can take advantage of an opportunity to expand your leadership potential and develop skills for life. @Q Projects reflect a variety of youth concerns, including teen pregnancy, parenting, family relationships, community service, peer pressure, financial literacy, nutrition and fitness, teen violence prevention, and career exploration.
