Our Youth Leadership Programs include Torch Club, Keystone Club and Youth Leadership Camps. These programs provide young people aged 10 to 17 with the opportunity to enrich their lives through service to others and the chance to explore the many prospects that exist in their communities. We engage youth in activities that increase their self-worth and aid them in learning to contribute to the creation of caring neighborhoods. Youth must know that they are valued by their community and need an environment that nurtures a sense of purpose and a positive view of the future. This program encourages contribution through service and provides a solid foundation for developing capable, caring and responsible young citizens.
Torch Club
This program is designed for youth ages 10-12 who are looking to do more at their club and in their community. Torch Club participants have the opportunity to volunteer at their local club, plan social events and fundraisers, as well as build the foundation for leadership skill development.
