Who is eligible to be a member of FCCLA?

Any student who has taken a course in Family and Consumer Sciences, or as determined by the state department of education, middle school through grade 12 is eligible for active membership in an organized chapter within their school. Once the state and national dues are paid, the student will be an official affiliated member. Teachers can join FCCLA, too! Teachers certified to teach Family and Consumer Sciences Education, or as determined by the state department of education, can serve as the FCCLA chapter adviser.

Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America provides a wealth of benefits for your students, Family and Consumer Sciences program, school, community, and your own professional development. New advisers find that FCCLA offers a broad spectrum of program choices. The word “choices” is the key to survival and success.

Remember: you don’t have to do it all! FCCLA offers a variety of national programs and events to help increase the effectiveness of your Family and Consumer Sciences program and motivates students. During your chapter’s first years, guide members toward the programs that seem to best serve your local community needs. As members gain experience and build a tradition of chapter success, they will be ready to branch out into additional programs and events.

Did you know that FCCLA affiliation dues are accepted all year long?

That's right! It's never too late to affiliate via fax or through the mail. Do it for your first round of affiliations or for those students who may be in your second term classes. This year Florida is participating in the Indirect Affiliation which means that you cannot affiliate online.  You must complete the affiliation form and send it with payment to the state office at PO Box 1806, Bushnell, FL 33513.  We can accept purchase orders or checks but are not able to accept credit cards.

If you would like to affiliate through the Middle Level option you can access that form below.

Middle Level Affiliation Information

National dues- $9.00 per member

State dues- $7.00 per member

Middle level national dues- $450

Middle level state dues- $350

Middle schools can affiliate all students in their FACS classes for a set cost which is equal to paying for 50 members.  If you have less than 50 middle school members to affiliate then you should affiliate normally.

Beginning with this year, the National Office has raised the minimum members required to affiliate from 9 to 12.

Affiliation forms can be accessed below.
