5 Ways to Improve Club Membership 1st Vice President Hanna Zandvakili, Indian Hill As 1st Vice President of the OJCL, I understand the challenges that come with trying to boost Latin Club membership. It can sometimes be tough to get motivated students to join Latin Club and maintain high student involvement. However, there are many fun and easy ways to promote membership and involvement in Latin Club. So, here are the five best ways to boost your Latin Club’s membership. Plan a club social event. Toga bowling is always a hit, and is a great way to blend classics and fun. Hand out Latin Club cookies. Having a sweet homemade treat sponsored by the Latin Club will help get the word out about how awesome Latin Club really is! Plus, people love food. Plan community service events for your club. Everyone needs service hours and loves helping out the community, so planning Latin service events will really encourage people to become more involved in Latin Club. Create official Latin Club social media. Social media just became a part of the OJCL 1st VP’s duties and it has greatly helped the OJCL with membership and publicity. Publicizing fun things your local club does will encourage people to join. For an example of a local club Instagram page, check @scdlatin. Make a cute club promotional video! Videos showing the most fun parts of Latin Club helps get people excited. 26
