Torch Club and Keystone Club

Torch Club

The Torch Club is a chartered small-group leadership and service club for boys and girls ages 11-13 focusing on character development.  A Torch Club is a powerful vehicle through which 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 meetings are held on Monday from 5:00pm-6:00pm beginning on September 13.

Howard University Weekend

The Keystone Club wants to give a shout out to the North Carolina Club at Howard for a great weekend.  We really enjoyed the experience of interacting with college students and being a part of campus life.  This was by far the best visit that we have attended.  Thanks to all of the students that took time out of their schedules to show us a great time.  Until next year....
