Starting a Club or Community Organization

Colleges see thousands of club members. They see far fewer club founders. Starting an organization signals something joining never can: you identified a need, took ownership, and built something that didn't exist before. This workshop walks you through the full process, from finding a gap worth filling to running an organization people actually want to join.

In this workshop, we'll cover:

  • How to identify a genuine gap in your school or community, not just a club that would look good

  • The founding process: advisors, charters, approvals, and what your school actually requires

  • Recruiting your first members and building a team that outlasts your enthusiasm

  • Running meetings and projects that create visible impact you can point to later

  • How founding an organization strengthens your application narrative and where it shows up in the Common App

  • Planning for succession so your organization survives after you graduate
