September 2019 - June 2020
Goals: We will collaborate with other extracurricular activities leaders within New Trier and in the Chicago area to determine if there are areas of commonality to explore. We will also meet with our club sponsors to discuss our work in this area and gather their ideas for how to proceed.
We will meet with sponsors to explore our current process and assumptions for club recruitment. We want to challenge our sponsors to consider which students join their club, who do not, and what patterns they may see that could be interrupted. Does every student feel that they belong in every club?
