Social Circle Club Partners With Detroit Museum for Video
The Social Circle Club is planning to create a public service video this year for the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, according to club co-sponsor Karen Melton.
This is the 6th annual year of Social Circle, and each year the club creates a video for a client company with the help of Weber Shandwick public relations agency of Birmingham.
The club is for students interested in learning more about public relations and communications. Students learn to develop and produce a public relations campaign for a client. Social Circle alumni are then eligible to apply to Weber Shandwick as interns or employees when they enter college.
Sophomore Kanajah Fleming said, “I’m excited about my first year in Social Circle.” Fleming says she intends to major in photography in college and thought the club would be a good fit for her.
In previous years, Social Circle has created videos for Safe Kids and the Big Brother and Big Sister mentoring program.
The goal of this year’s video is to entice more teens to visit the museum.
“I think it will be a real cool experience,” said sophomore Danrickis Horton.
The Social Circle club meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month from 3:30 to 4:30 in Melton’s room and takes occasional field trips to the museum in Detroit and to the Weber Shandwick offices in Birmingham. The club co-sponsor is Business teacher Jacqueline Dunlap.

I would’ve joined if I didn’t have basketball practice.

The article is well written. I believe the Social Circle Club offers young adults the opportunity to develop public relations and communication skills required to engage in daily conversations, whether in professional settings or socially with friends and family members.
