In what type of event can FCCLA members participate to gain recognition?

FCCLA STAR Events, which stands for Students Taking Action with Recognition, are competitive events that allow members to showcase their knowledge and skills in various areas related to Family and Consumer Sciences. These events provide members with a unique opportunity to gain recognition for their hard work and achievements in specific categories such as advocacy, creative cooking, and leadership, among others.

Participating in STAR Events not only helps members enhance their critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills, but it also allows them to earn awards and recognition at local, state, and national levels. This focus on real-world applications aligns with the mission of FCCLA to empower young people to become leaders in their families, careers, and communities. Events like culinary competitions, community fairs, and educational retreats may offer valuable experiences and learning opportunities, but the structured recognition system inherent in STAR Events specifically distinguishes them as the primary avenue for FCCLA members to receive acknowledgment for their accomplishments.
