Creating a club and being a leader
Creating a club can seem very tasking at first; however, getting involved with your counselors actually isn’t as hard as it seems. Sharing your interests and ideas with those around you can make something that seemed impossible a reality. To really convince your counselors to help you develop and push a club, you have to do a few things first.
Make sure that you have a solid outline of how the club will run and its mission
Although the mission may alternate, it’s good to have a beginner one to make it seem as though you are serious about the club and running it.
Talk to a trusted teacher and have them sponsor you
In order to run a club, there has to be a teacher sponsor who is willing to stay after school and help. It’s usually best to find teachers who have a similar interest in what your club does
Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your sponsor, as that is precisely what they are there for.
Lastly, advertise to friends and classmates
This is important to do because you need club members, and the best way to find out if people would be interested in joining is to ask them!
Ask them what they want to see so they will join and even come back after the first meeting!
Being a leader isn’t always easy! However, the reward at the end is one that you will always remember as it creates fond memories with your peers and offers something about yourself that colleges will look for when you apply. Having a leadership position is something that many colleges and even workplaces will look at with admiration as you have experience with asserting yourself and others to get things done. It makes one look more responsible and reliable.
In a club, you can not only host community service projects to help your community, you can also create a place for students to reach out for help with a specific subject. However, you can also create a club that pertains to your own interests that others may like to learn and have fun with alongside you. Clubs allow you to meet all kinds of people and promote social bonding with peers.
Different examples of clubs you can create include:
Baking club
World History Club (mainly for studying purposes)
Digital Art Club
Helping Hands club (mainly for community service purposes)
AND MANY MORE!!!! There is always a club out there for you, and if you have to make it, then you make a space for not only yourself but others as well!
