The PA FCCLA State Emphasis Project 2017-18 focuses on the environment and doing projects that are good for the planet. Chapters may participate by doing tasks on this list. Please note: You only have to complete two tasks.

Take pictures of your chapter members working on the project. Send the pictures, in jpeg format, attached to an email that includes a description of the project, your name and chapter name by February 15 to Cheyenne Sestric, Vice President of Programs, at csestric@pafccla.org

Your chapter members will be able to include community service on their resumes. And if your chapter attends State Leadership Conference and has completed two tasks, you will be invited to a special event during State Leadership Conference.
