One of the clubs I've gotten involved in is Relationships On Campus. Although I went to ClubFest, I didn't join ROC until I learned more about the club after attending Sex After Dark a couple of weeks ago.
ROC promotes healthy sexual and intimate relationships among young adults. We promote education and awareness about sexual health and the differences between healthy and harmful intimate relationships. Some of our activites include the Red Bicycle Campaign (giving away free condoms) and an Advocates for Youth workshop on 31 October about healthy relationships.
There aren't specific leadership opportunities, but members have the option of designing their own program or "campus-based internship" within the club for one to three college credits. Based on your interests, you can work on media and publicity, community relations, writing, research, fundraising, and website development. I plan on centering my internship around writing about and researching issues concerning ROC.
My involvement in ROC is mostly due to my personal interst, but it also had an academic component: if I grow up, I want to be a sexologist. Ideally, I would research and write about sex and sexuality in connection with the brain. Therefore, getting involved in a club that studies sex and relationships and allows me to research and write about these issues is an excellent opportunity that will provide me with background experience in my chosen occupational field.
One more thing: ROC wants more members! If you're interested in joining, we meet at 6:30 on Wednesday nights in 311 East. :)
