What role do alumni play in FCCLA?

Alumni play a significant role in FCCLA by serving as mentors and contributing to the legacy of the organization. Their experiences and insights can be invaluable to current members as they guide and inspire future leaders. Alumni have often gone through similar programs and challenges, which allows them to provide relevant advice and wisdom. By actively participating in mentoring roles, they help bridge the gap between past and present members, ensuring that the organization’s history, values, and mission are upheld. This mentorship not only aids in personal development for current members but also fosters a sense of community and continuity within FCCLA, reinforcing the importance of the organization’s goals and objectives.

In contrast, while financial support and funding are crucial for many organizations, it is typically not the primary role of alumni within FCCLA. Running national competitions and creating curriculum generally involve specific teams or committees within the organization rather than alumni directly. Therefore, the mentoring aspect aligns more closely with the intended contributions of alumni to the growth and sustainability of FCCLA.
