Competitive Events
STAR Events
STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition) are competitive events in which members are recognized for proficiency and achievement in chapter and individual projects, leadership skills, and career preparation.
FCCLA STAR Events offer individual skill development and application of learning through the following activities:
- Cooperative: teams work to accomplish specific goals
- Individualized: an individual member works alone to accomplish specific goals
- Competitive: individual or team performance is measured by an established set of criteria
STAR Events encourage active student participation and recognize accomplishments of youth. The belief that everyone can be successful is the foundation of these events. Cooperation and competition are stressed in positive, constructive ways. Respect and interaction between youth and adults are fostered by establishing teams of adult and youth evaluators and event managers.
