At Rubin, we are proud to support Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) and its vital role assisting individuals, families, and communities to live healthy and successful lives through the provision of education, research, and technology.

FCS programs provide individuals and families with essential life skills, including financial literacy, nutrition and wellness, human development, and consumer resource management. These competencies are crucial for fostering well-rounded, capable, and resilient individuals who can thrive in today’s dynamic world.

And the research conducted by FCS professionals and their work with local municipalities, counties, and states support the creation of healthy and resilient communities.

We have witnessed the positive impact of FCS services including education, outreach, and research and development firsthand. Employees with a background in FCS bring a unique set of skills that enhance their ability to balance work and personal responsibilities, make informed decisions, and contribute to a positive workplace culture. Their preparedness and adaptability are invaluable assets to our company and the broader community.

Investing in FCS education is an investment in our future. It equips individuals with the tools they need to lead healthy, productive lives and supports the development of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. Whether those students enter the workforce as a nutritionist, financial advisor, early education assistant, or other areas, they are better prepared to be successful in their careers due to their knowledge in all areas of FCS. We believe that continued support for FCS programs will yield significant benefits for our society and economy.

We stand with FCS students and professionals and are committed to advocating for the importance of these programs, services, and the FCS industry. Together, we can ensure that Family and Consumer Sciences education continues to thrive and make a lasting impact on our community.
