Since you are the literary type, you might enjoy writing speeches and learning to deliver them. Toastmasters clubs are great for this. Could you get 4-6 homeschooled teens together and form a Toastmasters Gavel Club? This would demonstrate leadership and provide you with real benefits in honing your communication skills.

Check with your local YMCA and see if they offer the Youth and Government program. If they don’t, ask them if you can set up a team or if you can participate in the district competition as a member of the student media. Writing newspaper articles should be right up your alley! Do an Internet search to learn more about YMCA Youth and Government.
