<p>Right now, I'm involved in Leadership, Social Amnesty club, Global Cultures, and Model UN.
I'm planning to join debate next year.
I'm wondering what else I can do for political science-related or international relations-related extracurriculars.
Thanks!</p>
<p>what about young democrats, young republicans… get involved in some cause besides politics… like enviorment or genecide, or starving kids…</p>
<p>in the end every club could be considered political…</p>
<p>What about a international club?</p>
<p>I’m pretty much invovled in most of school clubs,
for example: Genecide/starvation/poverty/etc club - Social Amnesty
but I want to know more about what I can do outside of school.</p>
<p>bumppppppppp</p>
<p>oh sorry… work for political campaigns… its alot of fun… or get a intership at a mayors offce or somthing like that… volunteer at your neiborhood comettie</p>
<p>Write articles for your school newspaper.</p>
<p>Thanks, I’ve thinking that recently… I hope I’m a good enough writer 
any other comments please?</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>The obvious ones are to volunteer with a political campaign, cause and/or party. Take your pick.</p>
<p>i interned for my congressman’s district office during the year and his dc office over one summer. The website may say college students only, but it never hurts to try submitting an app anyway. If you are a sophomore, try doing the page program next year or summer, or girls state. You can also try some program like lead america, washington workshops, junior state of america (both the summer program and the club are great), nylc, or presidential classroom. Some boarding schools and colleges also have classes or programs over the summer
if you want your ecs to be good, they probably shouldn’t just be in school activities</p>
<p>Get an active role in your town government. I don’t know how you’d portray this on the application (maybe in your essays), but if you just want to do stuff for your interests, then I’d recommend it. One thing I want to do is get some streetlight changed (it stops all traffic for a minute for pedestrians crossing the street and each normal red light lasts for like two minutes- we don’t even live in a city, we live in a small village, but I digress). Go to your town leaders and say that you’ll be a voice for the common teenager and attend town meetings and such on a permanent basis. </p>
<p>If they don’t really care about your opinion, try and get something started at your school. The schoolboard commonly overlooks the voice of the students, so set up a link with them (we just got this at our school). So when the school administrators thinks it’s smart to spend taxdollars on flatscreen TVs throughout the school that only run loops of the morning announcements, you can shove that idea back down their throat and yell at them for even proposing such wasetful spending, but again I digress.</p>
<p>^That’s a really good idea. Have you tried the town meeting thing yourself, Senior0991? The idea did run through my mind a few months ago but I live in a HUGE county (prob. about 1 million people) and I thought I’d probably look like a fool if I asked if I could be a “student voice” at the county gov’t meetings. You think I should?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve been to one town meeting, but it was a while ago. Do you have anything smaller than a county (like a township or village)? Because I know in Cook County (huge, contains Chicago) they have a whole elected board, with tons of corruption, I might add. They won’t listen to thousands of striking public service workers, so there is no way they’d listen to me. If the whole county thing doesn’t work out, just go down to your school level. I think they’d be a lot more interested in your opinion than a county or even a town. You will be a senior (I think) so you already have a lot of authority.</p>
