1 : THE IMPORTANCE OF EXTRACURRICULARS Katie LaPlante Assistant Director of Counseling and Family Programs

2 What are extracurriculars? Anything your child is involved in that is not a high school course or paid employment Goes beyond school-sponsored groups such as band, Art Club, or basketball COMMUNITY SERVICE VOLUNTEER WORK FAMILY ACTIVITIES HOBBIES So, what are some examples of extracurriculars?

3 Examples of Extracurriculars: Arts: theater, music, dance, painting, photography Church Activity: community outreach, helping the elderly, event planning, community suppers, bible school, Sunday School, offering, planning and helping with festivals Clubs:, Key Club, Art Club, Spanish Club, Quiz Bowl Community Activity: community theatre, event organizing, participation in festivals Governance: student government, school committees Hobbies: collecting, model railroads, blogging, knitting Media: web work, school newspaper, yearbook staff Military: drill teams, ROTC Music: solo efforts, school and/or church related Sports: school, church, bowling leagues, dance, etc Family Activities: travel, bowling leagues, rock-climbing Volunteer Work and Community Service Employment

4 Why extracurriculars make a difference: Students develop valuable skills They help students to stand apart in the sea of applications Allow admissions offices to see the student behind the paperwork The high school and college versions of your scholar are not that different Colleges will assume that what your scholar brings to their high school, they will also bring to their college

5 How to translate extracurriculars into marketable skills??? Example: Student government = Leadership Other possible skills: Problem solving Time management Responsibility Community engagement Teamwork Cooperation Confidence Discipline Public speaking Communication skills Organization It doesn t matter if they have the skills and experience if they don t sell it!!!

6 As a group: What skills are developed by participating on a sports team? Religious involvement? In small groups, brainstorm qualities that may result from being involved in extracurriculars Consider extracurricular activities like sports, community service, holding a job, religious community involvement, etc.

7 Now What? Opportunities to show what you know : College applications Scholarship applications College essays Here is an example of a common college admissions question involving extracurriculars What is an extracurricular activity you are involved in? What have you enjoyed about this activity?

8 What I have been a member of the football team for two years. I enjoy the competition football offers and I have enjoyed being part of a team. What So What Now What I have been a member of the football team for two years. Through this experience, I have learned about what it means to be part of a team I am excited to pursue opportunities in college to be part of similar communities

9 Step 1 Alex 3.75 GPA #11 in class 1500 on SAT Step 2 Robotics Club Elon Academy Church Soccer Step 3 Build Model Transformers What is Elon Academy? EA Ambassadors Volunteer at Local Retirement Home Played soccer for 4 years Step 4 Member of Robotics Club for 3 years; President (leadership) Read to local elementary school children and participated in college fairs (communication skills, activism) Problem solving Time management Responsibility Community engagement Teamwork Cooperation Confidence Discipline Public speaking Communication skills Organization Community service (community engagement) Captain senior year (leadership, team work, discipline)

10 Keep in mind: Follow Passions and Interests If there is not a club that interests your child start a new club Encourage Balance (more than 1 activity or genre) Encourage Depth (longevity > quantity) Encourage Intentional Selection of Activities Encourage Pursuit of Leadership Leadership doesn t just mean holding an office. Mention any and all leadership roles. Talk with your scholar about how to frame their extracurricular involvement
