How does one cut through the noise and decide on a club to join? Where should you start? Now the good news is that most schools these days have tens of clubs to choose from.
School clubs and why you should join in
The first reason you should join a club is obviously because of a particular passion or interest you have in that organization. What people often miss is the excellent ways you can develop your professional skills and market yourself with different types of club involvement.
So here are the four main categories of clubs and the key ways they will improve a person.
1. School-sanctioned clubs
Examples of school-sanctioned clubs are the school newspaper, radio show, or news channel. Some schools categorize them as “Press Club”. These types of organizations are an excellent way to develop your strategic planning skills. Whether you’re planning on rolling out a new school program as a student senator or rebranding school newspaper. You’ll need to develop strategies surrounding these campaigns to ensure success. This is an extremely valuable skill and involvement in these clubs will improve your persuasion skills as you will need to convince others that your idea about a new bill or radio segment is the best one to go. Other benefits worth mentioning are how you will learn to stick to timelines surrounding real-world deliverables and the ability to work in cross-functional teams with others.
2. Athletics
By being a member of a school sports team, you are given a very special opportunity to build powerful and unique team skills. While playing on the team, you can develop excellent charisma, and the skills needed for success. As a young player, you will be exposed to teamwork. You will also need to pick up your teammates when they are down. Other benefits athletics provides is the ability to overcome obstacles, bounce back from defeats, and deal with problematic players and/or coaches.
3. Arts
The number of arts organizations and programs will vary drastically from school to school. This is dependent on the population size and type of school. But typically these fall into either theatre musical arts or visual art. The single largest benefit if you join these clubs will be a boost in creativity. This can be expressed in any number of ways. Drafting scripts for productions, composing music, participating in dance groups, or painting the next Mona Lisa. Regardless of the form of creativity, the out-of-the-box thinking will pay dividends over and over throughout life. Another benefit of the arts is the ability to see how your work contributes to a greater whole which will allow you to see the bigger picture in life. This could take the form of having a role in a symphony orchestra or a role in a large play.
3. Philanthropy
This type of student organization is highly recommended. This is one of the first organizations to join in college as it provides so much to you. The first major benefit is the ability to make a huge impact on the community around you and change your perspective on the world. By joining this club in school, you will help provide habitat for humanity and basic amenities to the needy. These organizations put on some of the largest events on campus, which would help build your event planning and project management skills. Also, you will develop other skills such as fundraising and marketing which you will need in different areas of life.
