Many schools have animal clubs open to the student body. However, if your school does not already have an animal club, you can start and organize your own. In an animal club, you work as a group to think of ways to help animals.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Approach a teacher about starting an animal club. She can either get the school's permission to start the club or direct you to the administrative officer who handles new school clubs.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a theme for your animal club. When you start an animal club, you'll want to decide on the animal issues to focus on. For example, you could organize your animal club around helping stray cats and dogs.

  3. Step 3

    Advertise your club. After you get permission from administration to start your animal club, you'll want to recruit members. Make up flyers about your new club, or send out a mass email telling classmates about it.

  4. Step 4

    Pick a meeting place or time. If a teacher is helping you run the animal club, ask about where to hold club meetings. Also, pick a time that doesn't interfere with other clubs.

  5. Step 5

    Organize projects for your animal club to take part in. You can organize letter-writing campaigns for animal rights, draw animal-themed murals or clean up areas that house wildlife.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can start an animal club outside of school as well. Instead of meeting on school grounds, choose a different meeting place, like the public library.
  • You should not try to push too many of your beliefs onto club members. For example, you can tell members about vegetarianism, but don't prohibit members who do eat meat.
