I would like to start a high school club but I need help.?

Question

I would like to start a high school club or organization because I believe that our school doesn't have enough. We are a pretty small school. We have a student government, science club, book club, yearbook committee, and musical related bands. I would like to start something different because I would like to get myself and a lot of my classmates a place to join. Any ideas? How do I start?

Questions I'd like to ask are:

Who do I ask for permission? How? What should I consider before asking? When would be a good time to ask? Do I need a solid number of members before asking?

Answer 1

well first get an idea into what you like to do in your spare time, or something you would like to do. write it down and prepare a speech and come to school early or stay after to ask the principal or assistance principal or someone who's usually in charge and sock it to em. And ask people if they would be willing to join if you could get it started. maybe even a petition. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Well, first ask yourself "what kind of club do I want to start?"  What are you interested in?  Art? Politics? What are your peers interested in?  

You'll probably want to talk to your friends first, have a good number (at least 10 or more preferably) sign a petition to start that club.  And you'll need an advisor, so find a teacher that would be interested in doing it.  The teacher probably won't get paid to do it unless you can petition the school board or administration (principal) to give them a stipend, so you'll need to find a teacher that would be interested in helping you out.  After you have the student signatures and a teacher who's willing to do it, you'll have to make a good case to the administration to get it going.  Good luck!  My guess is if you have all your ducks in a row they'll go for it, because you're being ambitious enough to start up a new club.  Good job!
