FBLA Activities & Services
FBLA members provide service to their school and community. The FBLA creed states that every person should actively work toward improving social, political, community and family life. Through community service, FBLA members can achieve this goal.

The Arc of Fort Bend
The Arc of Fort Bend is a center for the mentally ill. FBLA members participate in helping the mentally ill by talking to them and making them feel special. Members also read to them and take them to the park for recreation. The companionship FBLA members provide makes them feel loved and lets them know that there are many people who care about them.

Food Drive
The goal of the food drive was to collect food to donate to Pauline’s church during Thanksgiving. All members were asked to bring nonperishable food items for donation. FBLA collected over a hundred cans of food for donation. This food was to be given to the needy families of Fort Bend. This was our way of saying thanks to everyone.

Recycling
The recycling project is to promote less contamination of nature. FBLA is committed to work for the recycling project in which members will collect the recycled trash from all classrooms. This will lead to many advantages benefiting the people, community and the environment.

Toy Drive
The aim of the Toy Drive was to collect toys to donate to Fort Bend Santa’s Exchange. FBLA members decorated boxes and placed them in every room for students to bring in toys. Members gathered over a hundred toys and gave them out as presents for the needy children during Christmas. The Toy Drive delights children and makes them feel special.

Competitions/Conferences
FBLA is an active organization with conferences and competitions that helps students develop essential skills. It brings economic education, community involvement, leadership and business skills as well as career development programs to students to prepare them for leadership and success in business in future.
