Joining a campus club is a great way to enrich your academic experience at Foothill. There are clubs of all types on campus and they change periodically with the changing interests of the student body.

These organizations focus on student interests in career options, multicultural diversity, recreation, sports, crafts, politics, service and social events.

If there isn't a club that suits your needs, you can start a new club. Easy steps on how to start a club are available here.

All the paperwork, procedures and information is available in the OBD Club Handbook (pdf).

All club members have a voice through the Organizations Board of Directors/Club Council (OBD), to whose weekly meetings (Tuesdays at noon) each club sends a representative. OBD provides an effective, organized and fair policy so all clubs will thrive. OBD also sponsors a quarterly Club Day, which gives interested students an opportunity to learn about the various clubs on campus and allow clubs to increase their memberships. Funds are available to all active clubs.
