STAR Events

What is a STAR Event?

A STAR Event is a way for teens to share knowledge with their peers while gaining important skills for life. STAR Events promote the mission to focus on the multiple roles of family members, wage earners and community leaders. Each event is designed to help members develop specific liftime skills in character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge and vocational preparation.

With medals, certificates and trophies each participant receives recognition for his or her efforts to communicate the chosen topic in a creative manner. Each student expands his or her horizon with STAR Event participation. Leadership qualities are gained as FCCLA'ers share their STAR Events with various other organizations within the community. Excellence is a quality each member strives for and with STAR Events, everyone is a winner!

Star Events encourage active student participation and recognize the accomplishments of youth. The belief that everyone con be successful is the foundation of these events. Cooperation and competition are stressed in positive, constructive ways. Establishing teams of adult and youth evaluators and event managers fosters respectful interaction between youth and adults.
