Article found here. When you are choosing a club for your child, you will want to consider the various types of organizations and what she may do do with the clubs and get out of the clubs. Here is a quick list to give you some direction. Volunteering Children learn a lot about themselves and others by volunteering. Even the youngest of children can make a difference. By choosing a project and following it through, children develop a sense of accomplishment. Whether planting flowers or serving in a soup kitchen, children see the results of their hard work and have the satisfaction of knowing they are making a difference. * K-Kids a Kiwanis sponsored volunteer organization for elementary school children * Builders Club a Kiwanis sponsored organization for middle school children * Key Club a Kiwanis sponsored organization for high school children Scouting Scouting provides a well-rounded program where children earn badges, play games, camp, sing, create crafts, complete service projects and more. Scouts build friendships and learn new skills. Many have opportunities through Scouts that they wouldn't otherwise have. * Spiral Scouts International a Scouting organization for boys and girls, particularly those of pagan or minority faiths * Boy Scouts of America for boys ages 1st grade and up and girls from age 14 * Girl Scouts of the USA for girls ages K through 12th grade. Sports Sports give children a chance to engage in physical activity as well as make friends, develop skills, learn teamwork and build self-esteem. The sporting options are virtually endless. * Football: Pop Warner Little Scholars, American Youth * Cheerleading: Pop Warner Little Scholars * Soccer: US Youth Soccer * Baseball / Softball: Little League, PONY, Miracle League Religious Religious clubs give children the opportunity to learn more about their faith, grown in that faith and make friends within their faith. The activities vary by club but usually include social programs as well as educational. Some religious clubs also do outreach and community service projects. * AWANA for youth of various Protestant denominations * Young Judea Zionist Movement for Jewish youth * Challenge! Girls Club for Catholic youth * Conquest! Boys Club for Catholic youth Academic Academic clubs recognize children's academic achievements or give children the opportunity to work in an academic area in more depth than offered in class. They may also help prepare children for their future in a specific area. * National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society * Future Business Leaders of America * Junior Achievement Afterschool Agricultural Agricultural clubs give children the opportunity to work in various areas of farming, plant and animal sciences, horticulture, agricultural technologies and related fields. They provide a place where children can have fun, make friends and prepare for futures in agricultural fields. * National Future Farmers of America * 4-H Music & Arts Children develop creativity and express themselves through the arts. Singing, dancing, painting, and drama give children the chance to find out who they are – or sometimes pretend to be someone different -- and express it in beautiful ways. * Music and Art Clubs Edited by Desiree, Jan 22 2008, 10:33 AM.
