How can I improve my extracurricular activities being a Junior?
Answered

Hello, I started using this website for college search, and I have encountered myself that most of the colleges require a strong involvement in extracurriculars. I haven't participated in extracurriculars before, and I'm now struggling. How may I change that? Is it too late?

Instead of looking for a bunch of extracurriculars to join, just pick maybe 2 and get very involved them. This is more important to colleges than being involved in everything.

I found the easiest way to get involved in extracurriculars was to join clubs at my school. If you're looking for things like volunteering/community service, clubs are definitely a great option, as they'll already have some resources available for you to start looking at and will often organize events around volunteering. There are also clubs for things like sports or competitions. I'd look into a few clubs in the beginning, then slowly figure out which you like best and stick to 1-3 of them.
