All it takes to start a club in your own school is a group of kids who care about and want to help others and an adult sponsor. This is also a great way for high school students seeking community service hours to get involved working with younger children in nearby elementary schools. Parents are also encouraged to start club and hold meetings in their own homes. Clubs can meet whenever you choose either before or after school, weekly, bimonthly, or monthly, you set up a structure that works for you.
Many schools have after school care programs.
This is a good group of students to involve as they are already staying after school and are supervised by teenagers who can inspire them to take on projects to help others. Once you have started your club, you can receive incentives for your club members such as membership cards, stickers, pencils, book covers, and other incentives free of charge. Many worthy and successful service clubs started out with one person with a vision. One club of 50 kids in Miami can turn into 500 clubs nationwide. That calculates to approximately 10 clubs in every state with a mission to spread joy to children who are without joy in their lives.
