Adviser Recognition Programs

Without advisers, Michigan FCCLA wouldn’t exist. Without dedicated, hard-working advisers who love the organization, we couldn’t be as strong as we are. As a thank-you, there are several ways that Michigan recognizes outstanding advisers for their service.

Master Adviser


Qualifications & Application

The Master Adviser program recognizes outstanding advisers who operate co-curricular chapters with a balanced program of work. The application is available at www.mifccla.org, and is due by February 1.

Adviser Mentor


Qualifications & Application

The Adviser Mentor program recognizes advisers who have achieved the level of Master Adviser and have worked with beginning advisers to orient them to Family, Career and Community Leaders of America.

Spirit of Advising
