Which organization preceded FCCLA and later became its name in 1999?

• A. Family and Consumer Sciences Association
• B. Future Homemakers of America
• C. Young Homemakers Club
• D. Career and Technical Education Society

Answer: (B)

FCCLA traces its roots to Future Homemakers of America, the student organization formed around home economics education. In 1999, to reflect a broader mission of family, career, and community leadership, the group renamed itself Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, the name we know today as FCCLA. So the predecessor was Future Homemakers of America, which later became the organization’s current name in 1999. The other names listed did not serve as the forerunner to FCCLA.
