I’m a Palestinian citizen of Israel. I go to a public school with about 700+ students, my school recently started adding clubs to it’s curriculum (The school is only 4 years old), but I haven’t found any club that really interests me in the offered clubs but one, which is Debate club, but unfortunately I can’t attend it, because the club is not for beginners, but just for students who are trained in debate. So I decided to start my own club, it can be about anything, really, but I really like helping people, giving for the community (Being a minority in Israel, and having a little less rights than the majority, it’s a tiny bit tough to a considerable part of the Arab society) so any ideas of clubs to volunteer, fundraiser, or anything involved with helping people and the community is welcome. Clubs connected to international organizations are a preference but anything really would help.
Is it possible to start a chapter in the debate club for beginners or start a debate club using a different debate format? I’m in the process of starting a debate club myself, and I’ve been finding that people who have already participated in debate may be willing to coach or give other forms of guidance. Maybe someone in the debate club at your school is willing to help you start a new, noncompetitive chapter that will help people interested in debate become more experienced.
If you want to get into community service, it will help to assess the needs in the surrounding areas as a starting point. There may be organizations that you would like to volunteer with regularly, or you can collect canned food/ dry goods that can be distributed to the homeless. My school has a program that allows us to tutor children at the local elementary school; if you like children, you might be interested in doing something similar.
You mentioned international organizations in your post, so I would recommend that you consider creating a Gavel Club. Gavel Clubs are youth branches of Toastmasters International. Toastmaster holds speech contests, and the clubs are built to enhance public speaking. I don’t know many details, but I think that the speeches are judged on delivery more than content. However, the regular branches are only open to people 18 and older. If you’re interested, I’d suggested heading to the website and looking at a few videos of the world championships so that you know what you would be aiming for.
You may be interested in FIRST Robotics, which I believe is also international. Don’t know much about it, but the project seems to be building a robot in six weeks using common parts. If you enjoy reading, you might be interested in a book club. Of course, you can narrow the book list down by your favorite genres or authors. I know that it can be difficult to make sure that everyone can get a copy of the same book (libraries only have so many copies, after all). If that turns out to be the case, and you are OK with reading a lot of old books, you can choose books that are in the public domain and available online for free. I did this a lot as a kid, discovered some of my favorite books.
What are your interests? It would help narrow down the list to things you find more engaging or the types of community service that you prefer to do. Either way, best of luck in finding a fantastic club.
Is there something like key club or a UNICEF?
Key club doesn’t exist in Israel
