Montana FCCLA Is… Service Learning
Service learning brings community service and service learning together. FCCLA facilitates efforts through chapter, state and national activities.
FCCLA National Programs:
Highlight opportunities for chapters to build unique service learning projects for their own communities. These can include projects in nutrition, bullying, family relations and endless other possibilities.
State Outreach Project:
Each year Montana FCCLA Selects a State Outreach Project with a partner organization to reach to the community and help work towards a cause. The goal of this project is to have each student get actively involved in making a difference by uniting together. FCCLA wants members to experience and know firsthand that even a small effort made by many can have a huge and positive impact on others.
