This year, my classmate Isabella Reed and I lobbied to create the Career Club at HHS. The club aims, according to the mission statement we crafted, to “tailor our volunteer activities to the wild dreams and grand aspirations of our members for their future careers.”

“We’re all about laying the groundwork for our members’ futures by diving headfirst into service opportunities that sync up with their personal and professional dreams,” continues the mission statement. 

The Career Club is creating a platform where students don’t just clock in their community service hours – they actively mold their careers through hands-on experiences that they personally choose to participate in. For example, if an individual shows interest in working in the medical field, the Career Club will allow them to obtain community service opportunities in places such as a hospital. Even if someone doesn’t know where their professional passions lie, they still have a place in the Career Club. Those who are unsure of their career aspirations will be able to experience a variety of different places, and might just find their passion! 

At its core, the Career Club is a platform for self-discovery and fulfillment. It’s a space where students can transform their aspirations into action, where dreams are not just imagined but actively pursued. Through hands-on experiences and meaningful engagement, members will not only serve their community but also lay the groundwork for their own future success.

To learn more about the Career Club, contact me, Isabella or our advisor Mr. Mitchell. Let us embrace this opportunity to ignite passion, foster growth, and transform futures. Together, we can create a legacy of service, empowerment, and purpose that will resonate for years to come.
