Clubs

Clubs are recreational groups that focus on culture, sport or some other common interest. Members of clubs
benefit by having an opportunity to socialise with other people. They also further other interest in the sport or
activity that is the focus of the club.

Some clubs offer opportunities for community services. Teenagers experience camaraderie while performing
community service. Both the teenagers and the community benefit. Two examples are clubs that address
environmental problems and clubs that offer services to young children or the elderly.

Teenagers can join clubs that address their career interest.

Someone interested in a career in medicine or nursing could join a first aid group. Budding musicians could join
a choir.

Clubs are voluntary, and deepen on the efforts of the members to keep running. Some clubs charge a
membership fee or do fund raising to earn the money they need. Club members volunteer to help with tasks,
