Who is eligible to participate in STAR Events?

The correct answer is that only FCCLA members are eligible to participate in STAR Events. STAR Events, which stands for Students Taking Action with Recognition, are competitive events that emphasize the importance of leadership, teamwork, and the application of Family and Consumer Sciences skills. Participation in these events is limited to members of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) organization, as these events are designed to help members showcase their skills, knowledge, and achievements in specific areas that align with the mission and goals of FCCLA.

By requiring participants to be FCCLA members, the organization ensures that contestants are familiar with the principles and values of FCCLA, which enhances the integrity and intent of these events. The competitive nature of STAR Events is meant to encourage personal growth, leadership development, and career readiness among members, rather than being open to the broader community or non-member students. This focus on members aligns with FCCLA's commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and engagement among its participants.
