What is the goal of STAR events in FCCLA?

The goal of STAR events in FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) is to recognize proficiency in projects and leadership skills. STAR events provide students an opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills through individual or team projects that focus on various aspects of family and consumer sciences. Participants develop critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and communication skills while gaining practical experience that contributes to their overall personal and professional growth.

These events allow students to demonstrate their achievements and competencies in real-world scenarios, thereby enhancing their confidence and leadership abilities. By participating in STAR events, students receive feedback from judges, which is crucial for their development and helps them understand the standards of excellence in their field. This recognition is pivotal in fostering a commitment to lifelong learning and self-improvement within the context of their educational and career aspirations.
