Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 4:
Planning the Club
-
1Decide what your club is about. It can have a theme or no theme at all. Is it about animals, people, TV shows, or just to hang out with your buddies on a weekend?
-
2Pick a name for your club. Try to make the name catchy and fun and not too long. If you get stuck and can't think up a name, write down the club's purpose and then make a list of all the things that it reminds you of. Combine things to make a fun and funky name.Advertisement
-
3Map out a plan. Having a fair club isn't a walk in the pack. It comes with some degree of mental strengthening and strategy. Reel out a plan of operation and review each process with few close friends who share similar or same objectives. This is a good start to a great brainstorming.
-
4Decide who might want to join your club. If only you come to the first meeting, you can't exactly have a club. Use the people below to write down who you want in your club not who you know can be in it. If you decided to do a club at school, you might need to talk to the principal to get the OK. Remember they can't be boys if you want a club that is girls only.
- Check if any of your friends sound interested.
- Ask your friends, neighbours and whoever you think will be interested.
- Allow random girls you want to get to know better to come
- Don't force anyone to come; if they don't want to go, it's fine.
-
5Make a little mailbox for your club. If anyone needs to tell you something but they can't get in the club, they can write a note and put it in the mailbox for the club.
-
6Find a meeting place. The ideal meeting place is accessible to all of the members and probably closed in so you don't have to cancel meetings on the account of weather. Pick a place you all like and where you won't be disturbing other people. If you have a cool place to hang out, you'll probably find something to do, even if nothing is planned.
- A good spot is in a classroom or your club president's bedroom for stability,
- Try basing it in a tent, treehouse or clubhouse in your backyard.
- Decorate it with chairs, tables and shelves. You can also add posters, pictures, books and cushions.

Conducting the First Meeting
-
1Before the meeting, Be sure to have out snacks so your guests will have something to munch on.
-
2Plan everything once your guests get there. This includes the name of the club, introducing everyone to everyone else and brainstorm of topics to talk about. You can do this by finding some common interest with your members.
- Popular media, such as books, movies and TV shows.
- Food they enjoy to eat.
- School, since this is often where gossip comes from.
-
3Create a journal log (optional).
- Grab a notebook. Use decorations that fits the theme of the group. You could even add a picture of all the members, as long as everyone is happy for you to do that.
- Write down the names of all your members, your meeting schedule for different clubs events, your club name and rules that apply.
-
4If you want to get something or make a rule, have a vote. It can be show of hands or writing on paper.
- Before you make a decision, go over it with it the club.
- Don't put too many rules or the club members will think you are bossy and feel like they are in school.
-
5Make ID cards for the members. If the girls in your club wanted one, make some with their name, a picture, phone number, address, and email address on them.
-
6Organise a hierarchy system. A hierarchy helps keep the group in order. Make sure everyone has a role in a club hierarchy they like.
- The leader will represent the club and make very few decisions alone.
- The deputy will fill in for the leader while she's gone.
- The secretary will record info and fill in members who miss meetings.
- The treasurer will keep track of money if needed.
- Lookouts and Spies will be used to protect the club.

Running the Club
-
1Schedule your meeting schedule. Your meeting schedule can be weekly, every other day, or monthly. Make sure everyone is aware of when club meetings will be held and they will be able to attend most or all of the time.
-
2Plan meeting purposes. Why are you meeting? Is it to mull over the week's happenings? Is it to organize a fundraiser? Write down a list of meeting reasons or themes and theme each scheduled meeting to mean something!
-
3Plan activities and always have ideas at hand. Organise some type of outing to make them keep their interests focused. Make sure everyone is busy and say to people who are curious you just thought it was a good idea. That way you can do something that is still contributing to the club.
- Have a Friendship Award ceremony after you guys get more into the club.
- Go shopping and listen to music with all your club members.
- Play games suitable for a girls only club.
- Make videos of your club members performing. Try polishing each others' nails, doing make up and doing each others' hair.
-
4Join camps together. The more, the merrier!
-
5Create a club scrapbook. Take photos, write stories and poems, and decorate a scrapbook of all the fun things you do together! Take the pictures over a period of time, as you will have more things to look at.
-
6Get other things you might need in your club, such as spy gear and girly items. With things like that, you can spy on people and do pranks on them. Girly things are always appreciated in a girls only club. You can also put up cool decorations and posters.
-
7Host events every once every few months. Aside from normal activities, you and the club should plan events to keep everyone entertained and closer. Some event ideas are sports day, an annual play or show, the movies, a a sleepover at your club/house (If it's big enough), etc.

Growing Your Group
-
1Pick a club mascot if you want. This way, your club is represented by something and it also gives you something to decorate club posters and fliers with!
-
2To attract more people, always bring snacks and drinks to the club as well as some cups.
-
3Plan a budget (optional). If you need to buy things for the club weekly, plan a way to earn money and spend it wisely. Figure out the cost, a way to earn money (some prefer lemonade or craft stands), and how you'll divide up the money.
-
4Do charitable duties to raise money. Use some of the money to buys things for the club and donate the other half to charity.
- Hosting a lemonade stand, a yard sale or a bake sale.
- walking neighbors' dogs as a group.
- Do chores for a member or a neighbor together.
-
5Print out "Open house" posters and hand out flyers around your school. You can do that if your school has a school pinboard where people can post ads.
- Remember to ask permission first.
-
6Print out a sign-up sheet and pass it around at your lunch table or stick it up by Algebra II. Check with your teacher/principal before sticking a sign-up sheet in your school. At the top, explain about the club, where you will meet (preferably your house), and when. Also tell them to leave their number.
-
7Check the list every other week. It's alright, if the spots didn't get filled up! Afterwards, call all of the people on the list. Double-check and make sure they know where and when the first meeting is!

Community Q&A
-
QuestionWhat if I don't have a spare room, attic or basement for meeting?Community AnswerIf you have your own bedroom, you could use that. If you have a backyard, you could build a 10x10 fort out of wood. If that's not an option, you could have the meeting at another member's house and bring some thing of theme decoration.
-
QuestionWhat do I need for a girl's club?Community AnswerIt depends on the club theme. If it's just a hangout, post some pictures of your besties on the wall and maybe some stuffed animals. But for every theme, you will need a table, chairs, some besties' pictures on the wall and a Club Journal.
-
QuestionI'm not allowed to save money yet or use money for a club. What now?Community AnswerFortunately, you don't need money to form the club! If it's about the club meeting place and the furniture, just pick a spare room in your house and decorate it with things to you can find. Like spare chairs and tables, a useless rug, and some stuffed animals. If it's about anything else, just remember, be thankful for the items that you have now, and if that doesn't work, ask some club members to donate money. Hopefully cross your fingers and wish for some money.
