We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us in Orlando, Florida, from July 5–10, 2025, for the FCCLA National Leadership Conference. This unforgettable annual event united over 10,000 passionate FCCLA student members, advisers, and guests from across the country in celebration of leadership, learning, and service.
Centered on the inspiring theme "Dare to Dream," this year’s conference offered members countless opportunities to grow and shine. Attendees took part in dynamic speaker sessions, hands-on youth workshops, and national-level competitions that showcased their talents and skills. The event also provided invaluable networking moments, helping students forge lasting connections with fellow youth leaders who share their commitment to making a difference.
Through the lens of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education, the conference underscored FCCLA’s mission to empower young people. By exploring meaningful career clusters, building essential career-ready practices, and encouraging advocacy and service, FCCLA equips its members to create positive change in their communities and beyond.
Thank you for daring to dream with us in Orlando—and for making the 2025 National Leadership Conference a truly inspiring and impactful experience for all!
