<p>My school only offers extracurricular's that are sports oriented and I am not a very sporty person. What do I do to get some extracurricular's? My school offers no clubs.</p>
<p>Go out into your community and see if there’s anywhere you can volunteer or any clubs/activities going on that you can participate in, jobs are also an option. What are you interested in?</p>
<p>Make up your own extracurriculars. Seek out stuff to do in your free time that doesn’t involve 1) sleeping 2) video games 3) internet.</p>
<p>Art photography dance animals neighborhood organizations volunteer at boys and girls club or with scout troops job policitcs the environment local newspaper toastmasters drama or plays museums tutoring music science radio </p>
<p>The list is endless</p>
<p>I am interested in technology stuff and healthcare and things like that.</p>
<p>Are you in a city? If so go to various nn profits and ask if you can help with websites etc. If there is a science museum apply to volunteer.</p>
<p>as for health volunteer at a hospital reading to patients or a senior center teaching tech stuff</p>
<p>You have to start somewhere and the possibilities are endless. Nothing will be exactly on target as regards to specific interests, but even being in the arena is good.</p>
<p>So don’t get too picky that something isn’t the perfect match. You will learn from whatever you do.</p>
<p>volunteer at a hospital, senior center, or join your local youth group, a church/faith based group if youre into that, or local sports. you can volunteer at elementary schools or tutor. or if you have some money to spend, sign up for music lessons, dance, anything you want.</p>
<p>Look for volunteer work, get a job, and try to find activities you can do on your own.</p>
<p>If you’ve got money, get lessons for an instrument or language or something. If you don’t have money, do them on your own. That’s what I did, my ECs were guitar, piano, and Japanese, and I’m self-taught in all because I can’t afford lessons.</p>
<p>Just make sure you’re passionate about those things. You say you like technology, how about learning programming or something similar?</p>
<p>Or you could try forming a club at your school. That wouldn’t work for mine because most students don’t care about school, but it might work for yours.</p>
<p>As others have noted, the best ECs are ones that you have a passion for and come thru your efforts. Merely signing up for clubs A and B, perhaps even being an officer, is not an EC that stands out in any way at selective colleges. You may not realize or appreciate it, but your HS has done you a favor. Instead of offering mediocre chances to participate that won’t do you much good, you’ll either have absolutely nothing or something that makes a difference. </p>
