National FCCLA has now made it easier than ever to affiliate a middle level chapter! The new affiliation process is exciting because it allows a middle school to affiliate all of their students who have had or will have an FCS class for one low rate. 

Benefits of having a Middle level chapter:

·        Lower cost per student

·        Students gain experience early

·        Separate workshops and activities for middle school members

·        Offers a positive activity for students

·        Provides advisors with classroom resources
