This year members have the opportunity to blast into a brighter future during the 20152016 FCCLA experience. The theme, Launching into a Brighter Future, empowers students to “blast off” on their leadership journey by leading others, believing in themselves, and landing with a big bang! The logo for Launching into a Brighter Future will be available on the Nevada FCCLA website, www.nevadafccla.org State Membership Campaign: “Race to Membership” [New] This year’s membership campaign will rocket your membership AND chapter involvement! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to increase your membership by as much as you can by February 1, 2016. The percentage increase between your 2015-16 members and your 2014-15 members will be determined. During the closing session at SLC, the chapter with the highest percentage of membership increase will receive an amazing traveling trophy to display with pride at their school. The trophy will remain at the winner’s school until the 2017 SLC when it will be passed onto the 2017 winner. Nevada State Officers have set a membership goal of 500 members. We encourage you to boost your chapter membership as you climb onboard the “Race to Membership!” 2015-16 Chapter Success Guide Page 12 State Outreach Project: Think Kindness The Nevada FCCLA State Officers have chosen Think Kindness as the Nevada Outreach Project for 2015-16. Think Kindness sparks kindness movements in schools and communities across the United States. They have gathered a team of dynamic and inspirational speakers and thought leaders to create programs that not just talk about being kind, but inspire people to take action. Each year they travel the country on a national “15 Days of Kindness” school tour where they challenge schools to change the world, in just 15 days! It’s more than just a one-hour presentation, it is a 15-day challenge that calls students to action. Nevada FCCLA will announce the date(s) we will focus on Think Kindness! More details will be emailed to each chapter adviser. Advisers: Check out http://www.thinkkindness.org/ for resources. 2015-16 Chapter Success Guide Page 13 FCCLA National Campaigns NATIONAL OUTREACH PROJECT: Lead2Feed The Lead2Feed student leadership program is the nation’s leading and fastest growing free service learning program, attracting more than a million students in 3,500 schools across all 50 states. Aligned to standards and 21st century skills, Lead2Feed is making a huge difference in participants’ lives and the programs they create. This free service learning program nurtures a new generation of leaders while working to end local and global hunger. Each year, student teams compete for a chance to win over $275,000 in charity grants and $150,000 in technology grants for schools. The best part is that the work of your chapter and any prizes benefit your community. Be a part of the Lead2Feed movement by completing the lessons and a service project in your community. Based on the leadership principles from the book, Taking People with You, by David Novak, Executive Chairman of Yum! Brands’, Lead2Feed gives students the opportunity to lead, create and implement team projects that alleviate hunger in their communities.
