Club Application Form

This form is intended to formally propose the creation of a new student club or organization on campus or to reiterate student interest in continuing an existing club or organization. It must be completed by both a faculty advisor and a student representative and includes key details such as the club’s purpose, membership plans, proposed activities, and bylaws. The completed form, along with all required attachments, will be reviewed by school administration. Please note that no club meetings, events, or promotional activities may take place until the proposal has been reviewed and officially approved.



Student clubs at Miami Arts Charter School provide opportunities for students with shared interests to engage in activities that support educational or service-related goals.

Clubs must meet the following criteria:

  1. Clubs must be student-initiated, voluntary, and focused on the arts, academics, service, or other school-appropriate topics.

  2. Membership must be open to all students.

  3. A school-appointed monitor (teacher or administrator) will oversee meetings to ensure compliance with school policies but will not participate.

  4. Non-school individuals (i.e., non-students or non-employees) are not permitted to lead, control, or regularly attend meetings.

  5. Club activities must occur during non-instructional time and must not conflict with after-school art department obligations.

A sponsor plays a vital role in the success of any student group, often setting the tone for its energy and direction. At Miami Arts Charter School, sponsors are responsible for the following:

  1. Supervising all participants and remaining on campus until all students have left.

  2. Ensuring no activities are scheduled on non-school days.

  3. Attending all meetings and events.

  4. Providing consistent leadership.

  5. Getting administrative approval for all posters, flyers, and announcements, which must be neat and promote positive messages.

  7. Obtaining administrative approval for all activities.

  8. Guiding students through thoughtful discussion of each project’s pros and cons.

  9. Signing all purchase orders.

  10. Following up to ensure students fulfill their responsibilities.

  11. Encouraging strong academics and ethical behavior among all members.

Club Information

Additional Notes:

Purpose Statement: focuses on why the organization exists, its fundamental reason for being.

Vision Statement: focuses on what the organization hopes to achieve in the future, outlining its aspirations.

In addition to completing the club application form, students must submit a copy of the club’s bylaws. The bylaws should clearly outline the club’s purpose, structure, officer roles, election procedures, and meeting guidelines.

If the club is a branch of a national chapter, the bylaws can be located on the national chapter's website.
