Hi,
Extracurriculars List by Category
Note: not all schools will offer formal clubs in all these categories. If you see something you're interested in that your school doesn't offer, try joining a community group or even a national or online group to explore the interest further! Many of these topics are available as summer camp activities, as well.
You can also consider starting a club at your school if you are looking for a way to get involved in something you are interested in while also showing leadership and initiative.
Take a look in this list in:

Good luck!!

Hi Lolo!
Congratulations on wanting to explore the area of Hospitality Management! It can be a very interesting field. But remember, looking for a career area is like buying a pair of shoes. They may look great, but you need to try them on and walk in them for a while to determine proper fit and comfort.
Here are some tips on learning more about the inside of the career area. You will get farther by taking this approach than by trying to fill a resume. Although these activities will greatly benefit you and your resume.
- talk to your school counselor about becoming involved in coop, intern, shadowing, and volunteer programs in this area to help you see the inside view. Also, here is a site for locating intern opportunities: http://www.fastweb.com/
- look for part time and summer jobs in this area to see which part of the area of hospitality you like the most.
Best of luck! Keep me informed. I would like to follow your progress. Let me know if and how this might help.
