It's the one that gives you skills, accountability, and a community that actually helps you grow.
Every week you set habits and intentions, then check back in. Progress is tracked, not assumed.
Sessions cover leadership, communication, and digital skills, not theory, but things you can use the same day.
The club is student-run. You learn by doing with people your own age, not by watching adults demonstrate.
Every month, your chapter delivers a real project or presentation. Something you can point to and say you built it.
I thought I wasn't a ‘leader’. Now I'm running our chapter's community project and I've got three people looking to me for direction.
These roles are elected each term. Anyone can run.
Leads weekly huddles and is the main point of contact with the school. Sets the tone and pace for the whole chapter.
Runs the habit tracking system and keeps members accountable. Celebrates wins and flags when people go quiet.
Facilitates the digital literacy sessions and manages the chapter's online presence and content calendar.
Coordinates the monthly community project and manages external partnerships with local organisations.
Most students are told to wait. Wait until university. Wait until you have a job. Wait until someone gives you the title. Mikaelson School Club is built on the opposite idea: that leadership is a practice, not a reward. Students who go through the programme leave with a documented record of what they did, sessions run, habits tracked, projects delivered. That's the thing that makes an application stand out.
Whether there's already a chapter at your school or you want to be the one to launch it, we want to hear from you.
