History Main / ExtracurricularEnthusiast

* ''Literature/{{Slacker}}'': Jordan's Student Body President rival Kelly is a straight-A student, ExtracurricularEnthusiast, being the softball captain, Blood Drive Coordinator, Parents' Night Hostess, National Honor Society, and part of every other student organization that Jordan and Felicia know of (including the golf team, the art club, and eventually even the P.G.A.).

* Alexis from ''Series/{{Castle}}'' seems to be involved in a huge number of school clubs. She takes them very seriously and she's a star academically as she wants to go to a prestigious college.

Extracurricular Enthusiasts can be any gender and technically be of any age or environment, but they crop up most often in HighSchool SliceOfLife stories or College life stories. While the Extracurricular Enthusiast can sometimes overlap with the {{Nerd}}, {{Geek}}, and TeachersPet tropes, they are generally much better accepted by the school population because they do everything 'normal' kids do, they are just also heavily involved in other extracurricular activities (however, they ''do'' tend to [[NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork enjoy tough schoolwork]]). They are very rarely the AlphaBitch or JerkJock and more often are a minor member of the hero's group or a SatelliteCharacter.

* Played with in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' where, although the titular character joined every club, she did not stay in any of them and simply joined to see if they were interesting.

* Susie Fitzerman in ''National Lampoon's 1964 High School Yearbook Parody"

Characters likely to be Extracurricular Enthusiast, are any member of the ASB or [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil Student Council]], including The ClassRep and StudentCouncilPresident. In general, they have more boisterous and outgoing personalities and are rarely a ShrinkingViolet. Typical characterizations of the Extracurricular Enthusiast are the GenkiGirl or GenkiGuy, TheOjou, or BespectacledCutie.

Despite how many anime and manga take place in schools, it's rare to find any Extracurricular Enthusiasts there; in Japan, students are typically expected to stick to only one club during their time at school, and club activities are often too time-consuming for a student to be a part of more than one club.

* Hana from ''Manga/FlunkPunkRumble'', who wants to participate in everything the high school experience has to offer, because she used to be a {{delinquent}} and never participated in activities in junior high. She enthusiastically (to the point of lunacy) participates in every student activities, becoming the ClassRep and then later the StudentCouncilPresident. She is seen in the picture, unilaterally deciding that [[{{Delinquent}} Shinagawa]] will run for Student Council with her.

* Chikaru from ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'' is a rare example in Japaneses media of a character who's involved in numerous school clubs at once (since in real life, Japanese students are expected to stick to only one club at school). Not only is she the StudentCouncilPresident, she's also the president of the Transformation Club and the Secret Club, as well as a variety of other clubs.

* Chikaru from ''LightNovel/StrawberryPanic'' is a rare anime example of a character who's involved in numerous school clubs at once (since in real life, Japanese students are expected to stick to only one club at school). Not only is she the StudentCouncilPresident, she's also the president of the Transformation Club and the Secret Club, as well as a variety of other clubs.

* Suzy from ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'' is enthusiastic about the journalism club and frighteningly aggressive about recruiting the protagonist to said club.

* Referenced in a 1994 Creator/DCComics advertisement that showed a High School Yearbook for five teen heroes who had "graduated" to their own titles. After four entries where "Afterschool Activities" were listed as "NOT APPLICABLE" and the reason this character wasn't in the school system, Comicbook/{{Robin}} gets "PRESIDENT, chess club; PRESIDENT, computer club; PRESIDENT, chemistry club" along with the quote "I'm just one of the guys. Really." (In-continuity, of course, [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim Drake]] had one afterschool activity that rather precluded any others, though he did try out for the tennis team.)

In general, they have more boisterous and outgoing personalities and are rarely a ShrinkingViolet. Typical characterizations of the Extracurricular Enthusiast are the GenkiGirl or GenkiGuy, TheOjou, or {{Meganekko}}.

* You're welcome to play this way in ''VideoGame/HarryPotterHogwartsMystery'', and you at least approach it even without accepting the various sidequests the Hogwarts staff and students offer you. You start off with Charms, Potions and Broom Flying classes in year one, and another class or two is added with each new year, plus you can take part-time roles with the hospital wing and at the Three Brooms. Quidditch was added to the available activities in September 2019.

* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019'': Along with being captain of the gymnastics team and on the decorating committee, as of "#CrushingIt" Diana is also on the volleyball team, debate team, marching band, and drama club at school. Being TheAce, she does it all with relative ease.

%% * Victoria Best of ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl'' is a negative example.

* Scobie in ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael''. He becomes College Captain, started the debate team and participates in a lot of school activities. He tries to become an AcademicAthlete even though he is horrible at playing sports and ends up being a member of the (fifth) volleyball team.

* Walter Denton from ''Radio/OurMissBrooks''. He's been manager of the football, baseball and basketball team. He's been on the debating team, editor of the school paper "The Madison Monitor" and Vice-President of the Student Council. Walters also helps Miss Brooks' with the Spring Garden, and joins Madison High School's (short-lived) student Traffic Police. He's also tried out (unsuccessfully) for the baseball, basketball and water polo, before finally (and barely) making it onto the school football team.

** Cameron. In various episodes he has played drums in a rock band, led a band of Christmas carolers, and sang a verse from an opera at a wedding. And, of course, he is a classically trained Auguste clown.

* Spencer Hastings of ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' could qualify as this. She takes a myriad of AP classes and is a member of the hockey team and a tennis player, as well as running for class president, internships and charity work.
* ''Series/LittleLunch'': Debra Jo, who has badges for all the extracurricular roles she holds... and ones she doesn't hold, but has made up herself since she got a badge maker for her birthday. To a lesser degree Atticus, who tends to bring up all the clubs he's a member of in a very SmallNameBigEgo manner.

* The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]] are all involved in a lot of individual activities in addition to the things they do together. One of the [[WebAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsDigitalSeries digital shorts]], "Queen of Clubs," involves Rainbow Dash and Applejack competing to see who can be in the most different clubs at the end of the year. Even then, the Equestria Girls have been shown to be part of after-school study programs, form the Yearbook Club, play in a band, organize charity drives, hold pep rallies... and those are just the things they're all shown doing together.

* [[GoGetterGirl Jodie]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}.'' However, in many cases it's not because she ''wants'' to do these activities so much as [[EducationMama her parents want her to]] and she feels obliged to prove herself capable. This makes her a {{Foil}} for [[TheSnarkKnight Daria]], who's BrilliantButLazy.
