Character & Leadership Development
These programs empower youth to support and influence their Club and
community, sustain meaningful relationships with others, develop a positive
self-image, participate in the democratic process and respect their own and
others' cultural identities.
Keystone Club:
Keystone Club is the Boys & Girls Club Movement's most dynamic teen program.
Keystone Clubs are chartered small-group leadership and service clubs for boys
and girls ages 14-18. Keystoners elect officers and plan and implement their own
activities in six areas: service to Club and community, leadership development,
education and career exploration, unity, free enterprise and social recreation.
Torch Club:
Torch Clubs are chartered small-group leadership and service clubs for boys
and girls ages 11-13 focusing on character development. A Torch Club is a
powerful vehicle through which the Club staff can help meet the special needs of
younger adolescents at a critical stage in their development. Torch Club
members learn to elect officers and work together to plan and implement
activities in four areas: service to Club and community, education, health and
fitness and social recreation. Torch Club Awards are presented annually to
Torch Clubs with outstanding programs and activities in the four areas.
