Too bad the clubs don't have at least one adult leader
Agreed! Many high schools have a teacher as an advisor for each club or extra curricular... and a list of parents who help the teacher by performing tasks the teacher may delegate to them. For some clubs/extracurriculars, kids learn "Roberts Rules of Order" for conducting their meetings. Having a club/extracurricular without some type of guidance is similar to having gifted kids work on their own without instruction, sending them back to their desks to figure it out for themselves!
As I posted a few minutes ago. These clubs DO have faculty advisers, and depending on the club parents who volunteer. I do help quite a lot in the band boosters. But yes it would be odd & unusual for me to volunteer to help in a club that my child has never participated in if I wasn't invited. The advisers vary as to how much they do, it depends on the club. All our academic teams are clubs for example and faculty have to be heavily involved. But the more 'social' clubs probably just have a random teacher who just makes sure that the club sticks to the basic rules.
I am a bit confused, I don't think I ever mentioned that the clubs didn't have faculty advisers. Just that it would be odd for me to go from helping my son navigating school clubs, to suddenly volunteering for clubs I don't even know exist. To be honest DS15 doesn't want me around.
