Speaking Out for Family & Consumer Sciences

Remember to use #SayYestoFCS with your social media posts!

The social media campaign, “Making a Difference Through Family & Consumer Sciences,” highlights a different theme and strategies that can be carried out through family and consumer sciences education programs (school-based or community-based) each month, all focused on recognizing the importance of both family and consumer sciences educators and programs. We want to engage family and consumer sciences professionals, advocates, and ESPECIALLY program participants who will reach out to their respective social media networks–therefore reaching other prospective family and consumer sciences educators! For October:

  • Educators share about why they are a family and consumer sciences educator and the impact they make. Change profile photo to “Proud Educator” image on Twitter and Facebook. Profile photo can be used throughout the campaign. (http://www.aafcs.org/res/Educator_Recruitment/

    ).
  • University family and consumer sciences education majors share why they chose the major and change profile photo to “Future Educator” image on Twitter and Facebook. Profile photo can be used throughout the campaign. (http://www.aafcs.org/res/Educator_Recruitment

    ).
  • Program advocates who are not educators or planning to become an educator can use the “Say Yes to FCS” profile image on Twitter and Facebook. Profile photo can be used throughout the campaign. (http://www.aafcs.org/res/Educator_Recruitment/SayYestoFCSProfile.jpg)
  • Program participants share photos or videos illustrating what they’ve learned through family and consumer sciences programs/organizations…all possible because of a family and consumer sciences educator.
