Most meetings will be held on the Internet. Members will receive information from clubs presidents via E-mail. Dues will be paid with electronic debit cards. Minutes of meetings will be available on the club’s homepage. All fieldtrips will be organized using the Internet.
Many of the old clubs will continue to exist. SAVE, AFJROTC, ASTRA, DECA, SECME, NHS and BETA will be the leftover clubs. Some of the new clubs will be BLUE (Big Loud Unique Eagles, aka the 2009 Pep Club), PIG (Pretty Intelligent Girls), DEAR (Dancers Energized Against Racism) and SAT (Students Against Technology). In 10 years these clubs will dominate the extra-curricular activities at school, but some of will be much more prominent than the other. Some of the clubs may be doing the same things they are doing now or their goals may be different to cater to the future. The SECME club for example, deals with science and math, but in 2009 it may focus on inventing math that combines simple matter of science into advances of that era.
No longer will teachers be running the clubs; students will take on full responsibility. Teenagers of the future will be more mature and literate with the advances of technology; thuss they will be able to handle the job.
In the year 2009 students will be graded for their leadership skills in the clubs. Today, teachers get paid for leading the clubs and are appointed by the administration. The success of the clubs will solely depend on the students.
The best organizations will survive because they are fun, relevant and educational. For example, the AFJROTC program will remain popular, but it too will change. Cadets may well wear their uniforms every day and be trained for combat to prepare for future world conflicts.
