Student Councils
FASC equips and empowers student leaders with skills to build strong programs that will positively impact all students across Florida.
Student Councils
The Florida Association of Student Councils (FASC) consists of over 200 middle and high schools from throughout the State of Florida who are working together to bring about a growth in student leadership development, participation in student activities and student engagement in civic affairs.
Why every middle and high school should join FASC
FASC offers an avenue for student leaders to come together to create a productive learning atmosphere by providing opportunities and information to your organization. FASC hosts conferences and meetings to inspire your student leaders and empower your Student Council.
FASC is constantly working and organizing to be able to reach the goals of:
- Developing and promoting student engagement in their schools and communities.
- Facilitating the sharing of ideas, news and projects among member schools.
- Encouraging student participation in student council/student government on all levels.
- Developing student leadership, responsibility, personal growth.
- Practicing and promoting the idea of representative democracy.
Advisor Resources
Florida Association of Activities Advisors (FAAA)
FAAA is our state advisor's association. This association sponsors in-state advisors' clinics and holds its annual meeting during the FASC State Convention. Membership in the FAAA is not the same as school membership in the Florida Association of Student Councils.

National Association for Student Activities (NA4SA)
This organization was started by Dr. Earl Reum and its original purpose was to establish a forum at which leadership workshop directors could exchange ideas and talk with consultants. It has evolved into an organization for activities advisors, particularly student council advisors, making the name of the organization somewhat of a misnomer. NA4SA holds an annual conference the first full weekend in December and this conference is the closest thing there is to a national student council advisor clinic. Membership information can be obtained by going to the NA4SA website.
The Alliance for Student Activities (the Alliance)
The alliance is a new organization membership in which is open to all co-curricular advisors and sponsors (SGA, Class, NHS, Club, etc.). The mission of The Alliance is to provide Advisor Training, Student Leadership Training, the promotion of the value of co-curricular activities to the education and political committees and to provide a networking venue for advisors, teachers and administrators. The FASC is affiliated with The Alliance providing Florida advisors and sponsors with a reduced membership fee. For more information regarding The Alliance see the Florida Affiliation Form.
