TASK 12:
History
12. The first high school student-based organization chartered
in Sacramento High School in California, in May of 1925.
The concept of instilling an organized, separate entity
separate from the school itself came from Albert Olney, and
Frank Vincent. They were school administrators and
Kiwanis Club members who were looking to form a junior
service club in the school. This organization later became
known as Key Club. Key Club now stands today as the
largest student-based organization in the world, though not
the largest high school organization in the world.
Why students join these clubs:
Students join clubs for various reasons, leading to a diverse
pool to choose from in most schools. Most active club
members generally consist of freshman and sophomores,
looking to find their respective niche in school dynamics.
Student-based high school organizations offer teenagers a
special element in that every person within the club share a
common desire, ability, and/or personality. This type of
connection leads to the existence of clubs in the vast
majority of high schools.
Types of clubs:
There are four main club categories: fundraising,
community service, career interest, and interpersonal
dynamics. Many clubs offer a combination of each element.
Fundraising
Many people polarize toward fundraising for a major
13. organization or movement. Fundraising appeals to people
as high school students make a direct impact on
international affairs, such as funding cancer research or
environmental preservation.
Community service
Many schools require that students perform a certain
community service quota. To obtain such a threshold, many
people turn to community service organizations such as
Key club, Interact, Lion's Club, Red Cross, and local clubs.
In doing so, many teenagers experience more camaraderie
while performing community service. Other individuals just
enjoy helping the local community around them.
Career interest
Many teenagers join clubs that revolve around their career
interest. Many clubs, such as Junior State of America and
Future Scientist and Engineers of America focus on specific
career fields and help students understand them better.
Many competitions, awards, and conventions are held to
give club members advantages in these fields by exposing
them to new opportunities. In addition, members of career
interest clubs network with other students who will enter
similar fields.
Interpersonal dynamics
Many teenagers join clubs that offer no academic,
organizational, or community benefit. These clubs tend to
focus around culture, social dynamics, and self-interest.
These clubs look to satisfy the needs and demands of
14. teenagers in each school, based on environment, tradition,
and culture.
