I am going to be a freshman in high school this year and REALLY need to find some kind of extracurricular activity!! I have a full schedule for this year with my 4 core classes, an extra science class, Spanish, and a required leadership course. I am not interested in joining a sport. Are there other options for me OUTSIDE of elective classes in school?? I would like to commit to something and try to continue that THROUGHOUT high school.
Is there a YMCA or Boys & Girls Club in your area? There’s always clubs available through these organizations.
In my high school, clubs are held after school. What about these clubs? Unless they’re non-existent, or don’t interest you.
Maybe a sport would be in order.
Read Cal Newport’s “How to be a Hihh School Superstar” for tips on EC selection.
Scouts? 4-H? Volunteering at a animal shelter or nursing home or library? It really depends on what you are interested in and what’s a available in your area.
Another recommendation for Cal Newport’s “How to be a High School Superstar” It is fantastic - wish we had found it sooner.
