    Expert Answer
    First, I would find out the process of how you go about starting a club at your school. Many clubs require a teacher/staff member advisor and the signatures of students who would be interested in joining.

    It depends on the club. There could also be a secretary, an advertising team, and a club event planner. However, you can invent more ranks of your own.
  • Question
    Is it good to have a standard, straightforward name like "Book Club", "Chess Club", or "D&D Club"?

    Yes. You can keep it simple so everyone knows exactly what it is and because something too clever might make other people cringe.

    Yes, that's a great idea! You don't have to worry about a club budget, and you can talk to others about anything on your mind. A club can be about whatever you want.
  • Question
    Is it okay to start a club with just me and one friend?
    Community Answer
    Sure, your club can be as large or as small as you want. Try not to exclude people, though. If others want to join, you should let them.
  • Question
    How can I come up with a name that's cool but doesn't sound or make me look ridiculous?
    Community Answer
    Think about what your club is about, come up with a few words to describe it. If none of them fit, try looking them up in a thesaurus to find synonyms that may sound cool.
  • Question
    How do I organize jobs so my club doesn't argue over what job they want?
    Community Answer
    You can ask your members to volunteer as candidates then have your members vote, but as your club's founder, you might want to be the president.
  • Question
    How do I start a club if I'm homeschooled, live in a tiny town, and I have no friends?

    Community Answer
    An online group would work best for you. Try setting one up on Facebook, tumblr, or another site of your choosing. You could even start a club of fellow homeschooled kids.
  • Question
    How many people should be in a club?
    Community Answer
    Typically, anything over four people is fine. Try to keep the membership neutral to avoid conflicts.
  • Question
    If I want to raise money for charities how will I send it?

    If you are looking to send money to a charity, you can look up details on the organization's website, call them, or visit the place itself, if they have a location in your area.
  • Question
    Can I start more than one club at a time?
    Community Answer
    Sure, you can start however many you like, or join them together.
  • Question
    Can I invite my parents, because I don't think many people will want to join?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Having your parents in the club may help you with ideas because they have more life experience than you. But you should still ask other people, you never know if they will want to join until you ask!
  • Question
    If other people find out about my private club, what do I do?
    Community Answer
    Just say it isn't real and you were just pretending. Find a new club hideout and be more careful in the future.
  • Question
    How would I set up a secret club? Any ideas?
    Community Answer
    You could come up with the main idea of the club and the name, decide where you will meet, etc., on your own and then discreetly tell the people that you want to join that they're invited. If it's secret, make sure they don't tell anyone about it.
  • Question
    Do I have to get everything done before the club begins?
    Community Answer
    No, but you could if you wanted to. You could ask your friends or club members to help you while you're having your first meeting, even.
  • Question
    Do I need to register the club's name?
    Community Answer
    That's optional and almost always unnecessary unless you intend to produce merchandise or otherwise profit off of your club name, in which case you might need to.
  • Question
    My friend and I are arguing over the club logo and I don't know what to do. Any advice?
    Community Answer
    Try asking someone in graphic design or marketing, they may be able to help you guys decide, or even suggest alterations to your proposed logos to combine the ideas into a compromise.
  • Question
    How do I come up with a club name that isn't descriptive?
    Community Answer
    Pick a random word, or a word that is somehow loosely associated with your club. Flip through the dictionary and choose a word, or you could even make up your own word by combining two words into something new.
