The overall goal of the National Coalition for Family and
Consumer Sciences Education is to increase
communication
and project a unified voice and focus on family and consumer sciences
issues.
Many states maintain websites for Family and Consumer Sciences Education (FACS); Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA); and/or Career and Technical Education. Each website is unique in the variety and wealth of information provided.
