[quote=Anonymous]My kid started a neighborhood organization with a friend during the pandemic when schools were virtual and many clubs and activities were cancelled. It wasn't a non profit but they met with town and community officials, wrote by-laws, learned how to run meetings via Roberts Rules of Order and have minutes; they got the club registered as an official town organization so they could apply for grant money and use the town center for meeting space. They organized social media, recruited members, did volunteer work and so on. The process of starting an organization from the ground up was a big learning experience. It was useful as a town organization - I'm not saying it was earth shattering or anything, but they did some things and learned some things. I don't think it would help either co-founder get into an Ivy but it was something they could put on their application and talk about; and it was worthwhile. Both students feel more prepared to start or run an organization in college, I'm sure.[/quote]
