Any student at City Tech is welcome to start a club. Below is the simple process:

• Step 1 — Gather! Identify four student officers, have at least fifteen people interested in membership and identify a club advisor (a City Tech staff/faculty member).
• Step 2 — Paperwork! Once officers, members and advisor(s) have been identified, the corresponding documents must be completed and submitted. These can be found online and can be submitted via email or in-person at room G-516.
