<p>I realized that I need more leadership in order to distinguish myself from the others. I figure a good way for me to do this is to start a club or two.
I'm planning an ultimate frisbee club, which shouldn't be a problem since frisbee is so popular among my fellow juniors and other guys.
I'm also trying to expand in my science by making a chemistry club. That's making me nervous because I don't know how to get people interested in it or whether anyone would be willing to come. There's also the time issue. My schedule is bloating</p>
<p>Any one have any experience in these things? I can do it, I just need a good plan</p>
<p>Recreational clubs are good for character and fun but won't give colleges too much more incentive to admit you. It depends on how much you commit yourself to it and big of a role your leadershi position is. </p>
<p>My friend started a race car club, had only about 5 members, and the entire club lasted for about a month. I highly doubt that got him anywhere.</p>
<p>Don't start something that you don't have time to do. That's suggestion #1. Not only might you end up wasting your own time, but possibly also that of a faculty advisor + other club members. Founding a club can be a good way to show leadership, but I personally wouldn't recommend founding one for the leadership. Seems to miss the point...</p>
<p>Your school likely has a procedure for founding clubs, so you should talk to the administration before doing anything. If a policy exists, well...adhere to it. If not, begin by figuring things out for yourself...what would a chem club do? When you have a rough idea of what you want to do, talk to the chem faculty...you'll need a supervisor. From there, you'll see how much the faculty does or doesn't want to help you out. The teacher might be really into the idea and willing to help you get things off the ground, or might say "sounds good, let me know when I need to be at a meeting." If the former, see where that takes you. If the latter, I recommend getting a few potentially interested peers together and agreeing on a date for an "info meeting." Put together a flier with the info on it and give it to the science faculty so that they can mention it in their classes (if they're willing). If your school makes announcements or has a club bulletin board, use it. In the beginning, it's just a matter of getting the school's blessing, organizing a group (even if only a small one), and figuring out a purpose. A tip: if your first meeting doesn't hold people's interests, they probably won't come back. You don't need to have club by-laws written in stone before your first meeting, but don't start before you're pretty ready.</p>
<p>Before you do anything, I repeat: you really need to figure out whether you have the time to commit to this. Being a poor leader won't help you.</p>
<p>Well then if club making isn't significant in expressing leadership, what would be a better example?</p>
<p>Club making doesn't equal club leading</p>
<p>of course it does.
making the club means you are the director/coordinator of that club. That means you're leading it. You don't make it and then hand it off to another guy.</p>
