Hey FCCLA friends!
I hope you
all had a wonderful New Year, and made a goal to do a National Programs! As
FCCLA members, it is very important that we do all we can with FCCLA. That
means participating, and doing a National Program. What is a National Program? A national FCCLA program guides young people to link their options
and skills for success in careers, families, and communities. All the National
Programs can be found online at
Some
ideas I have to help you get started are:
1.
Do
one with your chapter.
2.
Do
your National Program around your STAR Event.
3.
Do
your National Program around your Community Service project.
4.
Have
fun!!!
Sometimes we feel like we
have to do SOO much work to get all the fun programs done that are involved in
FCCLA. (STAR Events, National Outreach Project, Community Service, National
Programs, etc.) However, something most of us don’t do is realizing that if we
plan and carry out a project that includes all the fun programs we will be able
to do BIG and BETTER things.
Ask yourself what your
favorite hobby is. Is it swimming? Dancing? Skiing? Watching TV? Collecting
Coins? Acting? Dating? Or even going to bed? We all have that one thing that we
love to do. For me, I love just about everything. However, today I’m going to
pick dating. Now, ask yourself probably the most important question- “How does
‘dating’ go into a National Program?” THAT’S EASY!!!!
DATING National Programs
IDEAS:
1.
How
does dating someone at work affect your work habits? – Career Connection
2.
Dating
Violence? What are they and how do we stop them?- STOP The Violence
3.
Does
having someone you like in the car effect the way you drive? – FACTS (Families
Acting for Community Traffic Safety.
4.
Can
you discover family relationships while dating.- Families First
I’m
sure back home in your town you have a hobby and something you just love to do.
Trust me when I say “Happiness
is like jam, you can’t spread a little bit without getting some on yourself.” Share your hobbies with others by
doing a NATIONAL PROGRAM!!!
If you ever need help with good ideas or just
a little pick me up I am only one email or text or call away!
