FCCLA Planning Process

▪ Identify concerns

▪ Set a goal

▪ Form a plan

▪ Act

▪ Follow up


Utilizing the FCCLA Planning Process may help in making decisions. The Planning Process is a decision-making tool that supports the organization’s overall philosophy about youth-centered leadership and personal growth. It can be used to determine group action in a chapter or class or to plan individual projects.

IDENTIFY CONCERNS ■ Brainstorm to generate ideas, or state the activity or problem you want to address if already determined. ■ Evaluate your list and narrow it down to a workable idea or project that interests and concerns the majority or all of your members.

SET A GOAL ■ Get a clear mental picture of what you want to accomplish, and write your ideas down as your goal. ■ Make sure your goal is one that can be achieved and evaluated. ■ Consider resources available to you.

FORM A PLAN ■ Decide what needs to be done to reach your goal. ■ Figure out the who, what, where, when, and how. ■ List the abilities, skills, and knowledge required on your part. ■ List other available resources, such as people, places, publications, and funds. ■ Make a workable timetable to keep track of your progress. ■ List possible barriers you might face, and develop plans if necessary. ■ Decide ways to recognize your accomplishments along the way.

ACT ■ Carry out your group or individual plan. ■ Use family and community members, advisers, committees, task forces, and advisory groups when needed.

FOLLOW UP ■ Determine if your goal was met. ■ List ways you would improve your project or plan for future reference. ■ Share and publicize your efforts with others, including the media if appropriate. ■ Recognize members and thank people involved with your project.
