Abstract:
A well-rounded education includes extracurricular activities because they give students the chance to apply their academic knowledge in a practical setting and serve as a means of reinforcing classroom lessons. In clubs and organizations, which are essentially tiny communities where they are welcomed, a student can express themselves, polish their strengths, feel a strong sense of shared ownership, and most importantly, gain the skills they need to become people-for-others. Organizations and clubs are particularly part of student’s school life. Participating in any group, anywhere in the globe, can help someone develop a set of skills that support the growth of their leadership traits. Student organizations offer one opportunity for students to identify and test their leadership abilities. This study focus on the influence of involvement in clubs and organizations on the leadership development of the students. According to Keating, leadership development initiatives should not only attend to the development of skill but also show unswerving focus to the wide range of factors that enable the student to practice the behaviors of effective leaders. On the conducted study it was found that involvement of students in clubs and organizations does influence their leadership development. Along with leadership development, joining further helps the students to improve communication skills as well as social skills.
