<p>Hey guys I am looking to assume more leadership roles at my school and as a sophomore I find it hard to “lead” previously established groups. I have created some of my own clubs but what would you guys suggest as far as creating more? Any suggestions with short descriptions would be appreciated! I am interested in science, business, and improving the educational environment at our noncompetitive school.</p>

<p>Depending on your region, you could try starting a SECME chapter at your school if there isn’t one already. It’s Southeastern Consortium for Minors in Engineering. (So Southeastern United States. If this actually is applicable for you and you want more information about it, I could try to help you.) <a href=“http://secmeinc.wix.com/secme/”>http://secmeinc.wix.com/secme/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>If there isn’t a Science Olympiad at your school, you could try starting one. I don’t know much about it, honestly, but you could always try looking that up.</p>

<p>Does your school actively participate in Science Fair? If there isn’t already an Experimental Science Class, you could try to make an Experimental Science Club for students to dedicate time towards research projects. </p>

<p>Business Professionals of America (BPA), it pretty much has a variety of different competitions and events, and there’s a regional, state, and national level. I don’t know if your school already participates in it, but, <a href=“http://bpa.org/”>http://bpa.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Those are the only ideas that I can come up with from atop my head, other than the one I was talking about earlier. If you have any questions about the ones I listed, feel free to ask.</p>

<p>well based on what you posted on the other thread, it seems like your extracurriculars are stellar considering you said you already founded multiple clubs AND are in the process of getting your own patent…</p>

<p>but since you said a lot weren’t major specific, maybe you could try major specific ones for medicine and/or business, and maybe tailor them so they help for both</p>
