Getting the word out and recruiting new members is an important part of any successful club. There are multiple ways in which you can help recruit new members to your club.  

• Post on the MySRJCApp.
• Ask your teachers if you can make an announcement at the beginning or end of class, and talk to your classmates about the club you wish to start.
• Make an announcement during public comments at an ICC meeting to inform other clubs about the club you intend to start.
• Create social media accounts to help promote your club and interact with other clubs on social media.
• Attend meetings of other clubs and make an announcement.
• Attend a Student Government meeting and make an announcement during public comments.
• If you have found someone willing to be an advisor to your club, ask them for help in finding new members and promoting the club.

Each club is required to find an advisor who is a faculty or staff member at Santa Rosa JC.  While finding an advisor can be an intimidating process, it is an important step that will greatly benefit the success of the club and enhance the experience of the club members.  A good advisor can help the club complete the necessary paperwork, navigate the rules and processes at SRJC, provide guidance and most importantly help club members enjoy their experience.  Below are some steps to help find a club advisor.

• Start looking for a Faculty or Classified Staff member that works in a department that aligns with your clubs interest.  Faculty/Staff Lookup & Department Lookup.
• Reach out to current advisors to see if they are interested in advising a second club.
• Talk with your teachers about advising or if they know any faculty who may be interested in advising.
• Reach out to ICC Advisor Joshua Pinaula - jpinaula@santrosa.edu for help finding an advisor.

FULLY ACTIVE CLUB
Fully Active Clubs have the greatest access to resources and opportunities. Fully Active Clubs can vote in ICC meetings and request funding from the ICC. To maintain this status, a club representative must attend weekly ICC meetings, and it is through this regular involvement that we find clubs stay active, connected, and supported.

AD HOC CLUB
Ad Hoc Clubs are recognized by SRJC and can use campus facilities, but they do not have voting rights in ICC meetings and cannot request ICC Trust funding. Without regular engagement in ICC, most Ad Hoc Clubs struggle to sustain momentum and often become inactive within a semester. Clubs may change their status at any time during the semester. If your club choses to be an Ad Hoc, please indicate that on the Club Activation form.
