Clubs

A club is defined as a student-initiated, maintained, driven and inclusive group that continuously and consistently aligns itself with the Christ-centered goals, vision and purpose of JSerra. Further, these groups may choose to affiliate with a larger, national non-profit organization, but must keep in mind that this larger organization must fall within the same regimented scope as stated above.

Types of Clubs

Service, which focuses on the welfare of a group or communities through health, education, etc.
Extracurricular, which focuses on enhancing academics
Social, which focuses on cultivating school spirit or strengthening student camaraderie

Starting a CLUB

Select a club moderator. Ask a teacher to moderate the club. The moderator's role is to supervise meetings, events, and activities.
Complete the Club Application and SOP Manual.
Set up a regular meeting time and dates to meet with your club members once your club has been approved.
You will be contacted via your school email for your club presentation time with ASG. The date for club presentations will be announced at a later date.
