<p>The clubs I am in don’t really seem to have any president or officers. My High School is pretty bad in on itself. Many people aren’t motivated to go to clubs.</p>
<p>However the only good club is Model UN, which has a teacher (My AP teacher) as our founder. However there is no “rank” inside the club.</p>
<p>What do I do?</p>
<p>Create your own club. It’s the easiest way to gain an instant leadership position. Start a club in an area you feel most passionate about.</p>
<p>How do i go on about doing that? Do I go to my principal or something?</p>
<p>Start a club. that’s what i did. different schools have different policies. I don’t know if you have to go to your principal. I had to find a teacher to be an advisor and then i went to the activities director to get an account for funds and to make it official/school-sanctioned</p>
<p>that’s exactly you have to do in my school as well ^.</p>
<p>Here’s how you become an officer/leader in an existing club:
<p>Eloquence! I’ve held two major leadership positions in high school and am currently a leader of an organization in college. I won all three elections by giving good speeches. Be confident, know your speech verbatim, but don’t talk as if you’ve memorized what you wrote–it makes you look less sincere (in fact, I gave one of my speeches extemporaneously and literally fifteen minutes after I joined that club!). Look nice, smell good, and smile and joke around without being a total clown. Be a bit cocky, but don’t insult people. Be modest but not apologetic. It works so well for me; sometimes I feel like a demagogue.</p>
<p>lol i agree with Hunt. No matter what show dedication and don’t be arrogant towards the other members. I would have to say that the latter is the most important though, because the club members are the ones you’re trying to impress, since they are the ones voting. But don’t think that just because you’re friends with half of the club means that you’ve secured a position. That’s not the case at all. Because when it comes to actually voting, they will always vote for the one who will do the best job. So don’t just try to become “friends” with all the other members. Show them what you are capable of and more likely than not, you will get the position you deserve. But the easiest way is always to create your own club. How is that done? Well, In my school we have to get a teacher sponsor first. So talk to your teachers. Ask them.</p>
<p>Clubs come at two levels; organized ones and mere groups.</p>
<p>Organized groups (DECA, NHS, ASB, Model UN) generally have the most participants, and hold elections at the end of school years for upcoming classes.</p>
<p>Mere groups are clubs created with short term interests, usually by a group of friends. There is usually no real goal in mind, and collapses after a few months. All members get a position for their resume nevertheless. </p>
<p>Aim for the big clubs. BE MOTIVATED, and enjoy as much what you do. Take commitment, offer ideas, and do a share of work. Other members will respect you, and in time, you’ll get a position.</p>
<p>Like the example earlier, by all means, start your own club if something interests you. If you make it thrive, who was behind it all? But don’t join a club merely for a title. If proof is asked, what can the advisor say you accomplished?</p>
<p>Just lie about your EC’s it is impossible for your college to check them out… seriously!</p>
