How Do I Start a Club at Deerfield Academy?

Starting a club at Deerfield Academy is an exciting way to explore your passion and bring students together. First, come up with a clear mission—what will your club do, and why does it matter? Next, gather interest by talking to friends and classmates who might want to join. You’ll need a faculty advisor, so find a teacher who supports your idea. Then, write a club proposal that includes your club’s name, goals, planned activities, and meeting schedule. Submit it to the Student Activities Office for approval. Once approved, start recruiting members, promoting your club, and planning activities. Leadership, creativity, and commitment are key to running a successful club at Deerfield!
