What is one of the main objectives of the Capitol Leadership Training?

The primary objective of the Capitol Leadership Training is to equip participants with essential skills in policy and advocacy. This training emphasizes understanding the legislative process and how to effectively advocate for issues that matter to Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) members and their communities. By learning these skills, participants can engage more actively in the political process, share their stories, and influence decision-makers on important topics.

Through policy and advocacy training, attendees gain insight into how government functions and the importance of being informed citizens who can voice their opinions and advocate for themselves and others. This understanding not only helps participants become better leaders within FCCLA but also prepares them to take on larger roles as community advocates. The emphasis on advocacy is fundamental to the mission of FCCLA, as it encourages members to actively participate in shaping the future of their communities and beyond.
