Awards are fine but doing things just to get them is made up and hollow.
Don’t start a club. I’m sure many existing can use your help.
You are not going to get into a college because of an award or not.
But you do want ECs where your accomplishments and their impact can be demonstrated.
Most people list Deans list or NAational Honor and AP Scholar as awards. They are meaningless. The accomplishments that led to the award are what matters.
