National Programs Info
There are eight National FCCLA programs that are based on the FCCLA mission statement and purposes. By participating in these programs, students gain leadership skills and make a positive impact on their school, family, and community. While Southmoore does not currently participate directly in these programs, many of our activities are relatable.
Career Connection helps members learn more about themselves, the workplace, and careers so that they can put themselves on the pathway to future success. The projects that members conduct around Career Connection units will give them the confidence to face the thousands of overwhelming options that come with future career decisions.
At Southmoore, members participate in various STAR events that relate, such as Job Interview and Career Investigation. For FCS classes, they participate in work-based learning through field trips, guest speakers, and volunteer work.
Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety (FACTS) gives members the information and incentives they need to build an understanding of what it means to drive safely, both today and in the future. Through their projects, members work to educate others about traffic safety and support enforcement of local rules and regulations. FCCLA members are given the tools to help families promote basic safety attitudes that can last a lifetime.
This year, none of our activities involve this national program. In the past though, we have participated in the Oklahoma Challenge, which is a no texting and driving program.
Financial Fitness engages members in teaching one another how to earn, spend, save, and protect money wisely. Through FCCLA’s Financial Fitness program, members plan and carry out projects that help them and their peers learn to become wise financial managers and smart consumers. FCCLA members can build their peers’ financial literacy and teach them skills for managing their finances.
Southmoore members participate in fundraisers throughout the year. For FCS classes, finance is implemented in various ways such as pricing out recipes and calculating the cost of having a child.
Power of One helps members to find and use their personal power. Members set their own goals, work to achieve them, and enjoy the results. The skills members learn in Power of One help them now and in the future with school, friends and family, and on the job.
This year, Moore Public Schools is implementing Leaders in Me, which is based on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Throughout the year, school wide lessons are taught with this program.
Through Families First, members gain a better understanding of how families work and learn skills to become strong family members. Its goals are to: help members become strong family members and leaders for today and tomorrow and strengthen the family as the basic unit of society.
Southmoore members regularly do activities together, such as attending weekly craft days and participating in after meeting activities, such as our Friendsgiving. This national program is the core of the human growth courses and is discussed in detail.
The Student Body program helps members learn to make informed, responsible choices for their physical and mental health while also providing opportunities to teach others. The teen years are an ideal time to establish healthy attitudes and habits to last a lifetime, which is why Student Body gives members the facts and incentives they need to build a healthy body.
Our district's Leaders in Me initiative also matches up with this program.
The Community Service program guides members to identify local concerns and carry out projects to improve the quality of life in their communities. Through their projects, members experience character development and improve their critical and creative thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge, and career preparation. FCCLA members learn more about themselves, others, and the world so that they can make a difference now and in the future.
Southmoore FCCLA members and FCS students both volunteer at the regional food bank throughout the year. FCCLA members also volunteer at the zoo and at the SHS Safe Trick.
The FCCLA Stand Up national peer education program guides members to develop, plan, carry out, and evaluate advocacy activities to improve the quality of life in their communities. Members develop their voice to make a positive impact. Through their projects, members experience character development and improve their critical and creative thinking, interpersonal communication, leadership, practical knowledge, and career preparation.
Southmoore FCCLA members attend various workshops and conferences that are aimed at helping members become strong leaders. These workshops and conferences include LEAD (officer training, Take AIM Conference, FCCLA State Convention, and Get SET Conferences.
