text: Students will be introduced to other kids who share the same interests. Extracurricular activities are groups of kids, so you will meet other kids who are also interested in that activity. Meeting those kids and hanging out with them over the course of time may lead to strong friendships. There are some extracurricular activities that have a very strong community, like theatre, choir, or even a sports team. By joining an extracurricular activity, you can make lifelong friends.
