Peer Education
Nebraska FCCLA State Peer Officer Teams (SPOT) empower members to take the lead in promoting peer-to-peer learning focused on National Programs and Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) content. Through specialized teams, members develop advanced leadership skills while encouraging chapter involvement in targeted Outreach Projects. Each team focuses on a specific National Program annually, providing chapters with engaging opportunities to make an impact, earn recognition, and grow as leaders. Peer Education is a powerful way to lead, learn, and inspire action across the state.
SPOT Outreach Projects
This year, the Family Leader Team is on a mission to help families thrive through Families First! The team is dedicated to strengthening families throughout the state, as strong families create strong kids, and strong kids grow into strong leaders. The team encourages families to build healthy relationships through simple bonding activities, such as cooking meals together, doing crafts, and spending quality time together. Families First teaches essential life skills through its five units, each designed to help individuals communicate, connect, and support one another.
As part of this initiative, the team is also promoting National Family Week, which is celebrated from November 23 to 29. This week serves as a reminder of the vital role families play and encourages them to pause, appreciate one another, and strengthen their connections. The Family Leader Team encourages chapters to share the resources below for how members can celebrate National Family Week with their own families, especially during the Thanksgiving holiday.
- Family Week Ideas: November 23-29
- Family Bucket List

Capture the Action
In addition to these recognition opportunities, chapters can apply with outstanding projects related to each of the National Programs represented. Families First and Student Body National Programs provide valuable peer education opportunities for students. These projects can take place at any point during the year. The top three projects in each National Program will be recognized at the Peer Education Conference. Applications are due February 16.
To complete a Capture the Action application, simply submit a picture and short description using the form provided. This is a great way to share the unique ideas that your chapter is incorporating as well as receiving recognition for those outstanding projects at the Peer Education Conference.
