California Association FHA-HERO CREED

(Adopted March 29, 2004)

I am a member of the California Association FHA-HERO.

I believe in the value of Home Economics Careers and Technology Education.
The education I receive through this program prepares me for success in a challenging and productive career.

I believe in the dignity of work.  I know that diligent effort is the foundation upon which all success is built.  I recognize the significance of home economics related industries to the strength of our economy and the viability of the family unit in our society.

I believe that a successful career professional must be equipped with effective interpersonal and leadership skills.  I recognize the FHA-HERO organization as an excellent opportunity for personal development.  Through involvement in FHA-HERO activities I am confident I will improve my value in the workplace and my contribution to family and community.

I believe in democracy’s meaning, the value that comes from people who are different in origin, strength and contributions.  I know that democracy has its roots in positive family living and must first be achieved in the home before it can be achieved in the world.

I believe through participation in Home Economics Careers and Technology and FHA-HERO, I gain a better understanding of justice, courage, integrity, cooperation, and trust.  I accept the challenge to use these ideals to contribute to the betterment of my home, community, and work.

I am a member of the California Association FHA-HERO.
