Woodinville High School encourages student participation in student-initiated clubs and organizations.

Types of Organized Clubs at WHS

Woodinville High School has two types of clubs, Non-Fundraising and Fundraising. Non-Fundraising clubs are unable to fundraise, spend money or collect funds. Typically all clubs are first established as a Non-Fundraising club before applying to become a Fundraising Club.

Both types of clubs require a WHS staff advisor, the completion of an application, and the submission of a Constitution.

Non-Fundraising ASB Clubs

• Non-Fundraising ASB Clubs must have an adult advisor, but cannot fundraise, collect fees, or spend through an ASB account.
• Applications for "Non-Fundraising ASB Clubs" are accepted throughout the school year.
• If a Non-Fundraising Club wishes to convert to a fundraising club, applications are only accepted mid-February through mid-March (during the ASB Budget Request process) to become a Fundraising Club for the following school year. 
  • All active non-fundraising and fundraising club's advisors will be notified when the budget request process begins in February each year (closes mid-March). Non-Fundraising club members should notify their advisor and the ASB Bookkeeper if they plan to apply to become a fundraising club for the following school year in February.

Fundraising ASB Clubs

• Fundraising ASB Clubs can fundraise, collect fees, and spend through an ASB account and must have a faculty advisor
• Applications are typically only accepted by established and active Non-Fundraising clubs during February and March during the ASB Budget Request process.
• All Fundraising clubs must submit an ASB Budget Request each year, beginning mid-February and due by mid-March. All active club's advisors will be notified and given instructions how to complete the ASB Budget Request.
