Z Club Visit to Kyenton Secondary College kyenton

On Friday the 9th June I took 3 students Keisha Leahne, Tayllia Quarry -Simmons and Kaylah Gunn to meet the girls in the Kyenton Secondary College Z Club.

The purpose of our visit was to get some ideas and inspiration in Chartering our own Z Club in Term 3.

What are Z Clubs?

The Z Clubs are part of Zonta International’s service projects. Z Clubs are organizations which provide opportunities for our youth to develop leadership skills, explore career alternatives, and improve international understanding through service projects and advocacy. Z Clubs are formed on secondary school campuses or in the community.

Young people are given an opportunity to interact and work together with experienced Zonta sponsors to better their society and the world by gaining an understanding of their school and community and by developing an international awareness. Supporting community and international service projects is one way for Z Club members to become well-educated individuals. Zonta members provide resources and information which encourage service to the school and community and an international awareness among Z Club members. Everyone involved in a Z Club benefits by working together in planning, organizing, and participating in activities. The programs and projects are created by Z Club members, with guidance from the advisor and the sponsoring Zonta club. The projects should be designed to meet the needs of members, the school, and the community, and have international emphasis. It is the school, community, and international aspects that make Z Clubs unique.

Future Leaders Building a Better Future through Service and Advocacy

The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow, and the Zonta International Z Club program is a way for these future leaders to build a better world today. Actively participating in school, community, and international affairs, Z Club members can have a positive influence on the world around them. Through Z Club activities, students will learn valuable communication skills as well as gain civic leadership experience and career development assistance through their commitment to service and advocacy.
