Leadership and service groups like Torch Clubs (for youth ages 11-13) and Keystone Clubs (for 14-18 year-olds) provide members with the building blocks for becoming caring, responsible citizens. They engage young people to become leaders through service to their Club and community and participate in national projects for which they can win awards for outstanding service activities.

These programs go a long way in teaching good character and citizenship. 2. If you are an alumnus of the Boys & Girls Clubs, reconnect and re-engage to offer support and services.
