Virginia FCCLA is offering two comprehensive trainings and opportunities to gain the “know-how” for mastering the tools needed to establish and operate a top-notch chapter.
Boot Camp I is essential to new teachers and to those who are less experienced in FCCLA, regardless of the number of years teaching. The session provides many resources including: Adviser Handbook, National Program Guide, lesson plans, membership recruitment materials, and FCCLA logo items.
Boot Camp II is designed to assist advisers wanting greater knowledge and skills regarding National Programs, STAR Events, and opportunities to advance adviser and member involvement. Special time will be spent with culinary teachers regarding inclusion of FCCLA in the classroom, including competitions, regardless of experience. The $150 registration fee will allow participants to be in line with Perkins V and state curriculum standards. The sessions will take place from 3:00 pm on Sunday till 4:00 pm on Monday. Please register below indicating the Boot Camp that best fits your needs.
Check back for dates and locations for 2024.
