Who is eligible for FBLA membership?

High school students interested in business are the primary members of the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) organization. FBLA is specifically designed to prepare students for careers in business and develop leadership skills through education, competitions, and networking opportunities. The emphasis on high school students aligns with FBLA's mission to foster interest and skills in various aspects of business at an early educational level, thereby providing them with experiences that will benefit them in their future careers.

While college students, middle school students, and any student interested in leadership may have their own associations or alternative programs geared toward professional development or leadership, FBLA's focus is particularly tailored to high school students. This specificity helps create a targeted environment where members can engage with peers at a similar educational level and share relevant resources and experiences related to business.
