Club members organize activities to raise money and awareness to support their mission. Several of the clubs organize talent shows, bake sales, and clothing drives to benefit their respective organizations. Each year, the HELO Haiti club strives to travel to Haiti, where they work to make improvements and otherwise support the HELO Orphanage. (Some years, hurricanes or other obstacles prevent this annual sojourn.) e Environmental Club—formerly known as Fuzzy Greens—works on Trevor's rooftop community garden and maintains the school's hydroponic towers. (e Food Services staff happily uses the organically grown vegetables in their cooking.) Environmental Club members also work within the community to reduce the use of non-recyclable plastic bags and other environmental threats. ere are also clubs that serve the larger mission of advancing equity and inclusion in the Trevor community. Clubs such as Q&A (Queers & Allies), MIOW, and SOCA (Students of Color Affinity) seek to provide common ground and a safe space for students who identify with a particular group and want to discuss relevant issues. Education is a key component: Bringing students with multiple backgrounds, associations, and identities together to learn from each other is part of Trevor's mission to create leaders who have the tools and awareness to act as global citizens. ere is no better way to achieve this than by empowering students to educate and empower each other. Upper School clubs are key components to an engaged and balanced life—something Trevor aspires to offer each of its students. ey present a platform for students to build upon their academic pursuits—or sometimes even escape from them for a bit during the school day. ey capture the attention and passion of young people and help them start to narrow in on the pursuits that are most meaningful and inspiring to them. n SOCA STAGE CREW ADMISSIONS AMBASSADORS
