<p>I'm a rising sophomore, and I need some help with extracurriculars. What activities can I join that deal with books, since I want to be a book editor when I'm older? Trust me, I'm not doing activities just so colleges will like them, I'm doing them for me. I just need help finding them.</p>
<p>Here are my currect extracurriculars and activities I'll join sophomore year:</p>
<p>Academic Decathlon
Student Council
Volunteer at the library
School newspaper
Job at the library once I turn sixteen</p>
<p>Any help would be great.</p>
<p>reach out and read program..it's all over the country...you deliver books to disadvantaged kids and read to them..i guess you can also create a literacy club, like looking at submitted works of art (i.e. a short story, poem, drawing, etc) and selling them for a profit to donate...just some organizations that are around me...</p>

<p>Similar programs exist for seniors--for example, the City of Los Angeles' library department has a program called "Service to Shut-Ins" that delivers books and films to seniors in nursing homes throughout the city. (I used to be active in this--and even some celebrities were active members.)</p>
<p>Also, writing articles for the school newspaper is good, as is starting a writing (literary) workshop program to help others to write.</p>
<p>Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. This is all great advice. One of the things I was thinking was starting a literary magazine at my school or a club. Any advice on how to get the administration to let me?</p>
