FAQ
Common questions

I already run a club — is it too late to scale it?

No — in fact, this is the ideal starting point. You have something real. We help you make it bigger and more meaningful.

What if I don't have anything started yet?

We can help you identify and launch something that genuinely reflects your values and interests. The best initiatives come from real passion.

Do admissions committees care about local vs. national impact?

They care about depth and authenticity. A genuinely impactful local initiative beats a nominally national one with no real substance.

How do I get press coverage as a high schooler?

Local press is more accessible than you think. We've helped students get covered by newspapers, radio, and even national outlets.

Get Started

My robotics club went from 12 members to 8 school chapters in one year. The media coverage wrote itself.
