Power of One

Power of One is a national FCCLA program that helps members find and use their personal power. Members set their own goals, work to achieve them, and benefit from the results. The real world skills members learn in Power of One are of use now and in the future. These shills may be used in school, relationships, college, their future career, and their communities.

Have you ever thought about a special goal? Maybe you would like to develop better study habits, cope with a physical challenge, get along with a sibling, improve job skills, become a leader – or any other personal goal. Power of One is for You! You select the goals most important to you, then create a plan of action to meet them.
