The goal of our club is to give students the opportunity to express themselves and their opinions and share it with the general public. We want students to have the opportunity to express their opinions without judgment, and gain more independence by committing themselves to writing at least once a month. By doing this, we hope students will get the chance to gain more connections in school and learn more about things they are interested in outside of school. Not only will this help students, but it will also help our community by giving them access to blog posts regarding different topics that will highlight a deeper level of knowledge on the specific topic. Our club will have its own blog website. Every month members from the club will have the chance to publish their blog on our club's website. We will give students the opportunity to write about anything that they think is important for our community to know about every month. They will write a blog post about that topic and submit it to us to edit. These ideas contribute to the purpose of our club because it allows students to express their interest in certain topics, and it gives them a platform to put their work out there. The members of our club can write blog posts to express their opinions on STEM, world issues, etc. This provides our members with the opportunity to educate themselves and their peers. Our club will connect with the community through our online platforms and our club website. Our club will have our own personal website to highlight our members exceptional work. We also provide our members with the help they need to build their papers and blogs. Our officers will help and guide members of our club to help them make their mark in the world through their blog posts. Many clubs at DVHS are more team oriented and make students work together and combine their opinions with each other. Our club will still promote teamwork and use it for activities but we want to give students a chance to express their own opinion instead of being held back by others. Additionally, to maintain collaboration amongst members, our club will enforce weekly meetings in a time that works for every club member. As officers, we will also encourage club members to bond with others outside of just working the blogs. In order to attract readers, we will make use of views and opinions. If members want to be considered for officer positions in the following years, they are to follow the membership guidelines for that. Each year to determine officers, members will also be evaluated on their motivation, proficiency, and dedication to their blogs as well as our club as a total. Throughout the year they will be evaluated on how they communicate and connect with their peers as well as the officers. Future officers should always act with respect towards current members and officers, and should always be a good sport.

Clubs will meet 1-2 times a month. Tuesday during lunch.

Through lunchtime meetups (called Buddy Lunches), our monthly Friday Fun Festivities, and participation in the annual Friendship Walk, DVHS Circle of Buddies fosters understanding, inspires acceptance, builds friendships, and creates inclusion. Circle of Buddies breaks down barriers "as students learn that we all want to be accepted for who we are… we all want friends.”

We can only grow as people if we try to teach and help others so that is the main goal. We emphasize the collaborative aspect of programming to model real life, where one will have to collaborate with many others to develop a project. Our club focuses on providing students concise information that is easy to understand and use in their pursuits in the C++ language.

The goal of this club is to bring the art of percussion drumline, which is currently only open to percussionists in the DVHS band, to the general student body. The club is run by advanced DVHS band students who will help members develop percussion techniques even if they lack experience. In our drumline, club members play battery percussion (drums) as a group to play short drum music excerpts called cadences. One does not have to be part of a DVHS band or even have percussion experience to participate in this drumline, as we want to make drumline accessible to all students. By expanding to the entirety of the DVHS student body, we not only aim to familiarize pupils with percussion, but we also hope to grow the drumline’s capabilities as well. With a larger quantity of members, we hope to hold more drum/percussion performances. In short, we would like to get our members familiar with their instruments of choice, introduce them to drumline cadences, and give them various performance opportunities throughout the year.

Every Monday during lunch

Dougherty Valley High School Engineering Club is a student club that is affiliated with a non-profit volunteer organization Fix-it Clinic, which hosts events to help community residents fix their broken household items. Usually, we fix a variety of broken household appliances including TVs, computers, bikes, sewing machines, etc. We work with engineers who have countless years of experience in the field. We, as high school students, may not be very adept at fixing many objects because of our limited knowledge, but these mentors will assist us if we are struggling. Even if we cannot fix everything, we still strive to provide the best solution possible. It can be pointing out where the problem is; it can be telling them which part they need to buy or find elsewhere to replace; it can be honest advice on what to do with the object depending on the financial situation. The premise of the club is to advocate against the current consumer culture of throwing away. When people decide to replace instead of repair, someone needs to stand up. Such consumer culture not only increases the knowledge gap between consumers and producers, but also wastes much more resources than we could have saved instead. To address such issues, we fix people's broken items and at the same time, educate them on the importance of sustainability. There are many things that we as global citizens can do to suppress this trend that has taken over our world today. So, please join our club and support the cause of pursuing a more sustainable lifestyle, and fixing broken items is one of the most feasible ways to do this.

Second Thursday of the month during lunch

Our club consists of both local business owner guest speaker sessions and business exercises. The business exercises include activities such as mock conflict resolution, crisis management practices, as well as a mini Shark Tank simulation.

Guest speakers will include real entrepreneurs from the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as people in the SBA field of banking. Members will be able to ask questions and find out more about how these people came into the fields they are in today.

Club meetings will be every second Wednesday of each month.

We enjoy showcasing our different styles in a comfortable, supportive, community. We love to review trends and popular fashion event (ex: Met Gala). Our goal is to inform people about the importance in expressing yourself. Fashion gives a glimpse of who we are as people. We will teach people about shopping sustainably such as thrifting, buying clothes made with natural fibers, buying local, etc. Fashion is a beautiful form of art and we want to share our love with everyone.

Generation She is a non-profit organization that was created in 2019 to combat imposter syndrome amongst women and non-binary individuals in leadership positions and in professional settings. Imposter syndrome occurs when an individual feels as though they are not worthy of being in the leadership position they are in or when they feel that they are not as capable as their peers. According to Fortune, less than 5% of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are women. This means that girls today are often left without mentors or inspiration to help them start and run their own businesses. Gen She serves to fill that void by providing girls and non-binary individuals the ability to network with one another, learn leadership skills, and establish entrepreneurial pursuits from the ground up.

Every other Tuesday during lunch

Geography is a crucial subject, as it is essential to understand current events, foster cultural awareness, and solve pressing issues. At the Dougherty Valley High School Geography Club, we are committed to teaching people of all ages, though most specifically high school students, about geography, its benefits, and why it is of the utmost importance to learn well. Many students think geography is a useless skill to learn, and, for example, simply memorize the place names for an AP World test without any knowledge of their surroundings or how they are significant. Overall, this contributes to a severe lack of geography skills in the general population. Our activities are dedicated to the promotion of this subject.

Thursday, lunch, bi-weekly

The third Wednesday of every month during lunch

We strive to provide opportunities to learn about the heritage and culture of Hindus while also raising awareness about the issues affecting Hindus, such as Hindu phobia or the persecution of Hindus. We derive our mission from the ancient Hindu scriptures; “sarve bhavantu sukhinah, sarve santu niramaya” — [May all be happy. May all be healthy]. “dharmo rakshati rakshitah” —[Dharma (righteousness), when protected and preserved, protects you]. Moreover, we want to create a safe space for people to find out what Hinduism means to them as an individual rather than something forced by their parents. In our experience, it is much easier with peers to be with you on that same journey and we would like to spread that. For the non-Hindus in our club, we want to share our faith because many people don't know how many facets there are and education is the best remedy. Additionally, the HSC family is always growing and will stay with our members past high school.

First Wednesday of every month.

The goal of Igniting Dreams is to educate, not help. We don’t want to make a temporary change to society, rather a permanent one and education is something you cannot take away from mankind. By creating handmade STEAM kits and pairing them with sister schools in Oakland we are able to educate the community allowing them to explore various fields and better their chances of succeeding in the real world. Igniting Dreams’ goal is to give underprivileged kids a shot at the same opportunities as students in San Ramon and not let their environment hold them back from accomplishing their goals. In the coming year, we want to be able to take a unique approach to the nonprofit by implementing a much more diverse student-based direction and creating a student-led curriculum that we can implement in the sister schools. Not only would this allow DVHS students to expand and apply their knowledge but it will also give the kids in Oakland a chance to learn how diverse education can be, something that they are not provided with. We also want to be able to expand to more sister schools and make a set curriculum that we can share across all schools expanding our influence tenfold.

Indian Student Association (ISA) promotes the recognition and admiration of participants’ own rich cultural identities via lectures; discussions; activities; and traditional, cultural events. We plan to focus on fostering a safe environment/community for people of all religions, states, and languages. The lectures we plan to give will educate members about issues, current events, and traditions in India that deserve more recognition than they currently receive. This will be done by organizing/planning social and community events where members can embrace their identity without the fear of being the victim of judgment. To also be more inclusive we are even allowing people of other ethnicities/cultures that aren’t Indian to experience a unique and beautiful world in the DVHS community. These community events will also confer a very important part of Indian culture: food!

Every Friday, once a month

While the name of the club refers to Korean American students, our club is open to anyone who is interested in Korean culture, media, and traditions. DVHS KASA plans to have many bonding activities throughout the year for anyone who is either Korean or is interested in Korean culture and to also spread the Korean language as well.

Possible fundraisers that we may have include fundraisers with Krispy Kreme, T4, and Teaspoons, and the total funds raised will be donated to LiNK to support the escaping and resettlement of North Korean refugees.

Second Fridays of each month

As the linguistics club, we hope to foster a learning environment for language learners and lovers where they can get exposure to other languages, engage with like-minded peers, and apply their knowledge of languages to explain the world around them. Through the linguistics club, we ultimately want to encourage language learning for fun, not just for credits, and work with people so that our generation can be more globally aware, and therefore more responsible citizens. We also want to open peoples’ minds to the possibilities that languages offer for people and provide students opportunities to further their knowledge. In order to further our own and our members’ knowledge, we want to host lectures, encourage group discussions about things we notice about the world, and invite guest speakers to speak about various aspects of linguistics (including its applications). We plan to explore opportunities to study abroad, language scholarships, and help students prepare for the Linguistics Olympiad if it’s something they are interested in. Furthermore, we want to introduce students to the little-known applications of linguistics, such as Natural-Language Processing, and at the end of the semester, we will have a project fair where members can show the club a project that applies what they’ve learned about linguistics. We strongly believe that our club can positively impact the DVHS community, as in a school that is heavily STEM-oriented, languages are often forgotten and many students take a language for the credits, not because they like it nor to truly understand the people/culture (in most cases, people learn the language, and due to lack of usage, forget it). Because of this lack of encouragement, people who enjoy languages don’t have any place on campus to interact with like-minded people. We hope to serve as that place, as well as offer members many opportunities to further their language knowledge. Furthermore, we want to introduce and delve into the multiple applications of language in programming (such as Natural Language Processing) which allows kids to apply their STEM-based knowledge, as well as look at how language has affected many of our daily lives. By doing this, we can open up students to the idea that masterful command of language is an extremely useful skill to have, no matter what one does after high school, and helps one connect with others on a more personal level.

Every other wednesday after school at 3:15

In DV Love and Second Chances, our goal is to improve the lives of rescued homeless animals through willing high school volunteers. We aim to increase awareness for the non-profit 501c3 organization Love & Second Chances through guiding and instructing our volunteers at the Love & Second Chances Rescue so that they are able to walk, train, and/or simply keep the dogs company. At the beginning of the school year, we host orientations for our club members in order to introduce them to the process of volunteering at the East Bay SPCA shelter and teach them about the specific requirements when taking care of the dogs. After having completed this orientation, members of the club are free to volunteer with the dogs at their own leisure.

Love + Feelings is a club which will be centered around the importance of customizable, hand-crafted, heart-warming gifts to express our love to others. In this club, we will hand-craft personalized cards, beautiful jewelry like necklaces, rings and bracelets, terrariums, paintings, and other heartfelt presents we can gift to our loved ones. We will also fundraise and participate in Maker’s Markets to give back to our cause. To achieve the club’s goal/mission, we will first begin the year by focusing on the foundations of cardmaking and jewelry making, and more. To do so, we will host workshops to spread our knowledge to the members of our club. After we get a good hold on that, we will turn to the club members to contribute new designs and ideas so that the club has an inclusive and creative atmosphere. They will begin to create new designs, which they then can teach the rest of the club. These new designs will help to grow the amount of objects we can sell to spread love in our society. Along the way, we will be learning how to grow and make it scalable. We will also be participating in Maker’s Markets, Farmer’s Markets, as well as hosting our own market for other small businesses to spread the word about our business as well as raise money for our cause. We will also be partnering up with CSF to help students earn volunteer hours. By doing so, we will be able to achieve our goal of giving back to our community, spreading love, growing our creativity and art skills, and providing an inclusive environment where creativity never ceases.

The primary goal of Love Buddies has always been to offer and provide comfort to children through unique keychains and dolls. Ever since the club was founded in 2018, we have been working to deliver handmade charms to children’s hospitals, foster homes, medical services, and more to provide these children comfort as they go through difficult times. Also, although we are centered around alleviating struggles for children, if there are major world crises, we feel compelled to extend our help to not only children who are experiencing these world problems, but also to everyone else. For example, during the fires in the Bay Area last year, we donated to the California Fire Foundation.

The capabilities of computers grow by the day. Artificial intelligence allows them to drive cars, generate personalized recommendations, and even create deepfakes from a single image. Our club aims to take you through this fascinating field with an in-depth look into AI, ML, and NLP. We will examine both the theory and the application of various models through a combination of weekly instruction and hands-on projects. We will strive to cover a wide variety of hot topic-areas such as object recognition, question answering, sentiment analysis, convolutional neural networks, and much more. By the end of this year, we hope to have provided an immersive experience in all of these worlds. With its project-oriented approach, the structure of our club aims to try and accommodate people who may have varying levels of experience in computer science, from beginners to more seasoned practitioners. Our club strives to create a community where members can teach, learn, and discuss machine learning.

Every Tuesday after school

The purpose of March For Our Lives DVHS is to educate our students body about gun violence and promote teen advocacy. March For Our lives was originally created by a group of teens that were impacted by the Parkland Florida school shooting in 2018. They held one of the largest protests during that time.This sparked an array of other teens and young adults inspired by their leadership to join the cause and advocate for what's right. San Ramon is a very privileged school in many aspects from the funding we receive to the safe area we live in. Naturally privilege makes many of us at times ignorant to problems such as gun violence.It’s important to recognize these privileges so we can be more aware of the issues around us. We may not realize it but these issues affect us and should be taken seriously. By educating our student body we hope to see less ignorance around gun violence and more people treating it as an issue that could very much someday affect us. This correlates with teen advocacy since being more socially aware also ties into standing up for what you think is right. We hope our club can provide opportunities for our peers to advocate for issues they are passionate about without letting age be a barrier to do so. March For Our Lives was the perfect organization for this issue since teen advocacy is what birthed the March For Our Lives movement. Overall our goal is for March For Our Lives DVHS to be a facite for students to become activists and get directly involved in the gun violence movement. Our club gives opportunities to our community to get directly involved with our cause for example by volunteering to help set up protests. The opportunities our club gives also gives opportunities to get the san ramon and dougherty valley community involved. For example, we create activities that gets the community involved, not just club members! We do this by hosting community wide fundraisers. Some ways we promote teen advocacy is by giving opportunities to get our student body to be involved with real life protests. March For Our Lives is known for their impactful and large protests so our club is able to be a part of these protests! Fundraising is also an aspect in our club like clothing drives , fundraising money to donate , and food drives that help the victims of gun violence. Speaking of impact since our club encourages teen advocacy our community also gets opportunities to become activists and teach others too! As teen advocates we are constantly learning about the world around us and the issues that need to be solved. In our club we teach Dougherty valley advocates how to get involved in human rights movements. Wealso give our club members resources to teach others either by spreading knowledge through social media or real life.

Our goal at Math Olympiad club is to teach math to elementary- and middle-school students and inspire these younger generations to continue learning math. Throughout the year, we will provide opportunities for you to take part in math-related service opportunities. As a club member, you will be shown to help students learn how to enjoy math through these opportunities. During lunchtime club meetings, members can work through mathematical puzzles with friends. Join Math Olympiad club today (we have free snacks)!

lunch, third Monday of the month

The DVHS Medical Research Club, narrows down to a certain practice which will give members the opportunity to dig deeper into a concentrated area. There are so many steps to research including, finding a topic, doing a preliminary search for information, finding sources, making notes, writing papers, proofreading, and finally getting your research paper published into a well credited student journal. Our club will focus on getting students through these steps, by providing and recommending the best resources for students, arranging 1-1 guidance for students who are researching difficult topics, reaching out to the best professional mentors/college professors, and even putting students on track to attending research programs on their own time, which is only possible through a club solely dedicated to research year round. Our club will allow traditionally underrepresented people to have a safe and fostering environment where they can BUILD an interest in medicine and not be FORCED to have one. This will positively impact our community because it will make medicine a more diverse field that will be a gold mine of opportunity for everyone. All you would need is the willingness to try something new!!

Every third Monday of the month at lunch

DVHS Medshare's goal is to improve the livelihoods of people across the planet by providing medical supplies for under-resourced countries. Our primary message is to promote sustainability while improving quality of life by collecting sterile medical supplies that would otherwise go to waste in the US. Our club serves its goals by hosting many packing events throughout the school year, organizing drives and fundraising money. Our club has fulfilled its mission by providing opportunities for students to make a difference in developing countries and cultivate their understanding of medical waste while gaining a better understanding of the logistics of the medical field.

Monthly- Last Wednesday of the Month

Founded by the American Red Cross, British Red Cross, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and Doctors Without Borders, Missing Maps is a non-profit organization where remote volunteers create detailed map data for first-responders to use during events like disasters, disease epidemics, and conflicts. Using satellite imagery, members of the club will contribute to create a base map of features like roads and buildings. The goal of the Missing Maps club is to provide global support for societies at risk of environmental destruction, and will put the world's most vulnerable societies on the map.
