Hi all, I've been invited to join the National Junior Honor Society and I'm kind of intrigued. Could someone fill me in on what you actually do as a member? I'm all for community service, but I want to make sure it's something I'll enjoy and benefit from as I start prepping my college apps.
Congratulations on your invitation to join the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)! It's a great opportunity to engage in community service and develop leadership skills. As a member, you'll typically participate in various service projects, both at school and in the wider community. These might include organizing events, volunteering at local organizations, or leading fundraisers. It's also a chance to collaborate with like-minded peers and contribute positively to society.
NJHS involvement can enhance your college applications by demonstrating your commitment to service and leadership, especially if you take on a leadership role within the organization. Colleges value sustained and meaningful extracurricular involvement, and NJHS can provide a platform for those qualities.
Just be sure to choose activities that genuinely interest you, allowing for a more authentic and enjoyable experience. Additionally, it can be advantageous to focus on a few activities that you're passionate about, rather than spreading yourself too thin. Enjoy your time with NJHS!
