Middle School Clubs that turn originality into a culture of kindness.
You are one of a kind.
Own It!
Original Me middle school clubs celebrate the awesome truth that there is only one you. And that you are worthy, seen, and impossible to replicate. Only you can trademark you.
Through student-led kindness projects, our completely free clubs build connection, belonging and a school-wide culture where everyone feels seen and valued. Students gain the confidence to be their truest selves, no matter how goofy, awkward, or different they may feel.
