I started a club called IVote ! We focus on registering people to vote and be civically engaged in their community !

College shouldn’t be a motivation for starting your club. In my opinion and experience, there’s a much better result to a club built purely on passion for the activity. Any benefits should only be perks of the club experience.

>MAKE A LIST of your interests that you already have, that might be fun a club. >If that club already exists, try looking at it from a fundraising perspective. >How much money will you need, if any to get the club started? >WHO is your target club member? Are there many people that would want to join that type of club at your school? >Have a list of interested students BEFORE you go to the administration. >Find interested students by word of mouth, sign up sheets, bulletin boards. COLLECT EMAILS AND NAMES. >Finally go to the school's administration, and present your idea for the club >Show them DETAILS of what the club is about, schedules, field trips, etc.

I’m thinking of starting a club called “nature nurtures” that help the environment in my community :)

“Passion” is a catch phrase nowadays. You don’t need passion, you need ideas and backing that’s all. Bingo = admission.

I started an astronomy club at my school this year, both for the look of it on my college application (I'm planning to study astronomy and astrophysics), but also because of my passion for such an underrated and under-taught subject :)

I searched for “how to join a club” and ended up here and now I wanna start a club. No I am goin to

The 10 page college checklist hasn't e-mailed yet... I signed up a few weeks ago I believe. Thanks for the tips!

I recently started a writing club and its going pretty well so far

No joke, literally like an hour ago I emailed my school administrator about starting an NAHS club (pretty much NHS but for art), and he told me it was an amazing idea and wants to meet with me and so now I’m kinda doing the steps out of order lol. Do I even need to have a group of students who want to be in the club beforehand bc they’re supposed to get invited and inducted into it so technically u can’t join unless u have all the requirements first. I can still come up with the ideas tho I already have a few.

Great Video Greg, pretty hard starting a club tho. Video helps

Hey, I was wondering if there's anything specific that impresses colleges that I should do while I have the club started? I started an ethics discussion club freshman year (i'm a junior now), and we've basically just been meeting every other week and discussing ethical dilemmas. We get a good turnout, but is there anything I can do to have the club make a bigger impact? I feel like it's not enough to just be the founder and president and lead discussions, since that's not much to write about in an application. Do you have any advice for ways to expand my club?

I am in college and I am going to make a coding club because I think it will help me and others especially other female coders. I also think it will be a greaT thing for a resume for any dream job I may have ;) wish me luck!

Pitching an investing club tomorrow through young investors society. Goal of educating students better in the financial markets.

Hey, do you think starting a language type club is good? Also does the club have to be a school club?I feel like if I started a club it would be even more successful if it was outside of school cuz I know a lot of people outside my school that would want to join it.

Today. I went strait to the top my headteacher who happens the be the top in Wales he said yea crack on do it I will support it just let me know what you need

I’ve been wanting to start a UNICEF club since freshmen year, but I just moved to a new school junior year.

Not sure if this is super solid advice since a lot of clubs at my school (we have over 200 student run organizations) struggle to get the ball rolling when they are getting started and fail within a year. I chose to take on the leadership role (pres/captain) of a few clubs and from my experience I don’t think that’s a bad thing if you do new and interesting things with a club that make it more attractive or competitive.

Hey Greg! I started a Chinese Club at my school. My school is relatively small, which it contains only about 100 students in my class of 2021. I currently have about 15-20 active members. We decorate and make known the Chinese holidays. For example, we decorated my whole school with Chinese traditional decorations and got to serve dumplings on Chinese new year day. We meet about once or twice a month. What do you recommend me do or improve? What should the meeting be based on? Sometimes its hard to decide on what the meeting will be about. Any ideas? Thanks!

I want to start a botany or plant club which members will discuss their plants. There will be scheduled activities about members presenting a specific plant about how to keep them and their descriptions. The leaders will sometimes teach about facts such as grafting a plant should match their cambium layers and what need to pay attention for. How to you think of this club? Thank you!

Imma start a psychology club! Thanks so much for the info!

I'm starting a musical theater club at my school next year.

Heloo, I'm about to be in 8th grade. I'm interested in making a neuroscience research club when I get to high school.. do you think this is a good idea? I think i have a little advantage in "leading" since I teach martial arts at my taekwondo gym and I have to have some leadership skills such as planning classes having schedules and trying to make the classes fun and proactive at the same time. This video was very helpful.

hey! I was going to make a club in my high school that was really similar but basically any money that we would receive would go to really any organization (ie. for homeless or senior centers) and it would’ve been called Youth Music Society or something like that. But the thing that I feel is restraining is that if I was a president how could I control how members participate? And I don’t know if members could join as a group to perform altogether at a specific time after school? If you have any tips it would be really helpful :)

I’m in the progress of making a club that teaches elementary kids from low-funded school in their after school programs about different topics using people from my school as teachers. Do you have any advice for how much money I would ask my school administrator?

I love you Greg

Did your club do any special events or competitions that really made Princeton interested in you. Or was it casual?

Ye...in most countries...we can't just go up to the school and make a club.

Would anyone be interested in a career orientation club? we can watch a movie about a job or inviting people over to talk about theirs in a fun way (career orientation is very limited in my place)

I’m thinking of starting a club called “coding club” that help the environment in my community :)

Currently in my 1st year of high school and I only have 2 friends. I'm very shy and have trouble speaking to teachers and other students, especially older ones. When do you recommend starting a club? My school has 118 clubs and nothing to do with the environment or endangered animals. I spend most of my time in nature and would love to start a club about it. It'd be really awesome to do some fundraising, pick up trash around school and my town, volunteer to plant trees, explore the outdoors, and volunteer at farms! Even without the more fun stuff, I'd still like to raise awareness about the environment and endangered species in the province. The only club slightly similar to this would be the animal rights club which I think is still pretty different? I'm wondering if this club idea is too cliché. I enjoy helping people but I'm not sure how and there isn't anything I could start (most clubs relating to it are already created), so the second best thing is the environment! Will colleges/universities look down upon this idea because of how many people already do something similar and may think I'm just doing it for my application ? I'm also interested in box and metal puzzles such as Hanayama's, but also enjoy online ones like nonograms! I was looking for clubs or meetups in or around my town but couldn't find anything relating to those. I don't like jigsaw puzzles or rubiks cubes so there isn't really any prizes or titles to win from this interest and I don't believe many people in my school would be interested anyways. I've always wanted to create my own puzzles, though, so maybe I could start designing some and give any to elementary schools or children's hospitals (or something like that) without any things like it to try to get them interested in these kinds of puzzles! Or I could attempt to sell them as a fundraiser for a cause, but I don't know if it would be of any interest to anybody, including the children. Maybe if it fails I could put them around a library for people to destress with during exam season! Also, I've been interested in the Voynich Manuscript since around 3 years ago. I haven't met anyone interested in it yet, but it would be so fun to talk about it with others and research it. We could find methods online to test out and maybe even create our own! We could also explore things other than the VM. Soooo, I'm not too sure about what to do. I need to create a club and I want to hand it down to my brother when I leave (if he proves responsible enough) so he won't have as hard of a time. I was looking at the extracurriculars students that were accepted into Ivy League schools had and they were all leaders of many clubs, had a lot of leader roles in a specific interest, had a lot of awards, or were very talented in an area! But there doesn't seem to be much I could do with mine. Please let me know if you have any ideas. I've been stressed over this the entire week.. I can't focus on work because I get nervous and nearly have a panic attack thinking about the future. Maybe my interests are just too boring and not good enough.. Maybe my goals are too far to reach.. I'm sorry ...

How did high students during years 2005-2008 know that colleges like kids who create new clubs ? I didn’t know this back in high school and wish I did 😥. Do you just go up to counselor and ask or is there a program at the school that mentors these students ?

I’m going to start EABC-environment awareness bakers club! I have always had a passion for baking and our environment! Preventing climate change, saving animals, stopping pollution and overall having the smallest carbon foot print possible! One of the things I do to help stop climate change and animal cruelty is not eat any meat,fish,eggs or dairy products(go vegan)-(i made my decision to go vegan by myself when i was 12)! And I had an idea for a club where each week me and fellow club members would make a yummy vegan dessert! We would then have a table at lunch each week for students to try it- why you may ask...well as a vegan I can say most vegans and environmental activists disagree with forcing or shaming others for there diets or beliefs on climate change. By making these yummy desserts we can show that by gradually cutting out dairy based meals or snacks for healthier vegan or organic products you are helping the environment! Vegan food tastes good too! You do not have to be plant based to join the club- you just have to enjoy baking, learning about the environment, stopping climate change,science,eating food hehe or having a great time!! All are great! We can spread awareness about the environment throw food! Who doesn’t love food!!? Am I right lol

Apparently universities LOVE homeschool students, as they “follow their dreams,” according to people. Is this true?

I was thinking about starting a gymnastic club where we could perform in pep rally’s and stuff like that. My for reason for this is most people don’t want to try out for the cheer team because they know they cheerleaders would just pick the same people over and over. Another reason why I wanted to start this club is because people at my school show spirit but not as much due to the fact they know the cheerleaders are gonna perform the same routine that they always do. I feel like this club could be successful because theirs a lot of talented gymnast and incoming freshmen that has potential. My school just needs something new to give it the extra spirit. What do you think about this?

I started a puzzle solving club where people who like to solve or want to learn to solve puzzles (like the Rubik’s Cube) can come. However, even with 3,000+ kids attending my school, only a few are interested - any ideas on how to promote and get more students to join the club?

I am trying to start a Science Olympiad club at my school!

How do you think a Study club would do? I want to start a club that focuses on productivity, rewriting notes, and using eachother as study budies (like a broad study group). I'm pretty passionate about studying and more specifically making studying fun but I would worry that it would get turned down for being a glorified Study Hall 😂 Funding-wise, it would be great to be able to provide some lower class students (we have a lot) with materials like paper, pens and paper during the club but I don't know if that would be too much funding to ask for.

Please respond Should I start a German language club in my school in Corona outspread
