Annually, the National FCCLA organization conducts several events which bring students from throughout the United States together to enhance their leadership skills, compete and develop life-long friendships.
National Capitol Leadership
The next National Capitol Leadership conference will be held in the fall of 2027.
Location: Washington, DC
Capitol Leadership is returning bigger and better in 2025! An additional day of leadership training has been added to the itinerary to ensure student leaders develop their leadership skills while promoting their continual need and support for FCS and CTE education.
Fall Leadership Institute
Held in Orlando, Florida and Anaheim, California, the 2026 dates are coming soon!
FCCLA has joined forces with the Disney Imagination Campus at both Anaheim and Orlando parks to offer Disney-led Leadership and Teamwork sessions within the Disney parks. Capacity is limited. This is a unique opportunity to learn valuable skills within a small group outside of the classroom experience.
Students can select two of the four Disney Imagination Campus sessions. All sessions occur within Disney theme parks. A limited number of chaperones can accompany the sessions.
- Leadership the Disney Way
- Teamwork the Disney Way
- Immersive Storytelling
