What is the minimum number of members required to form a new FCCLA chapter?

To establish a new FCCLA chapter, a minimum of 12 members is required. This number is set to ensure that the chapter has a sufficient base of participation and engagement, fostering a viable and dynamic organization. Having at least 12 members helps to facilitate diverse perspectives, promote collaboration, and increase the potential for meaningful activities and programs within the chapter. Additionally, this requirement encourages the development of leadership skills and team-building experiences among the members, which are core tenets of FCCLA’s mission.

Other numbers of members listed do not meet the organization's criteria for the establishment of a new chapter, as they would either provide insufficient participation or limit the chapter's potential effectiveness in meeting FCCLA’s goals. The requirement of 12 members strikes a balance, promoting sustainability and an enriching experience for all involved.
