Tips to Get your Club Approved on Campus
Tip #1 - When compared to other clubs focused on girls/non-binary individuals use the following response:
Most clubs that focus on gender-specific empowerment either focus on advocacy (like GirlUp or Period) or STEM (like Girls Who Code or Superposition). The Generation She High School Club focuses on girls and non-binary students in entrepreneurship. Our school lacks a club that tailors entrepreneurial and business curriculum towards genders underrepresented in this space. While it is important that girls are encouraged to pursue STEM, it is equally important that they are encouraged to start their own ventures and/or feel confident as leaders.
We'd love to partner with these clubs to exchange resources and provide members with more opportunities, since we have different areas of focus.
Tip #2 - When compared to other clubs focused on business and entrepreneurship use the following response:
Common business clubs like FBLA and DECA are focused on preparing all students for business careers and competitions throughout the year. The Generation She High School Club is different in that:
- It is tailored towards girls and non-binary students: groups that are currently underrepresented in the entrepreneurial and business landscape. Our curriculum addresses the gaps that girls and non-binary students experience when learning about these topics.
- Our primary focus is not on competition, but rather, a year-long curriculum in which we cultivate a supportive community that works together to find business solutions to problems collaboratively. We focus on the aspect of building community because having a group of people who support and encourage you throughout the process of entrepreneurship allows for students to develop more confidence when pursuing these careers and, therefore, be further pushed and prepared to take risks.
Tip #3 - List the activities your officers and members would be doing during your meetings. Depending on how you plan to structure your club, some examples of what you can use include:
