Character
and Leadership Programs
Helping youth become responsible caring citizens and acquire skills for
participating in the democratic process is the main thrust of these programs.
They also develop leadership skills and provide opportunities for planning,
decision-making, contributing to Club and community, and celebrating our
national heritage.
TEENSupreme®
Keystone Clubs
Keystone Clubs are chartered small group leadership development clubs
for young people ages 14-18. Keystoners elect officers, choose their
own activities and plan and implement community service projects.
A national charter entitles a Keystone Club to participate in regional
and national Keystone conferences.
National TEENSupreme Keystone Conference
Keystone Club members from across the country gather in a different
city each year to develop leadership skills, exchange ideas, debate
and discuss current issues, and make friends. Each year, Keystoners
select a national project for local Keystone Clubs to complete. The
combined action of hundreds of local Keystone Clubs throughout the
nation results in a project of national significance. The National
TEENSupreme Keystone Conference is sponsored by the Taco Bell Foundation.
Youth of the Year
The National Youth of the Year Program is designed to promote and
recognize service to Club and community, academic performance and
contributions to family and spiritual life. The Clubs select a Youth
of the Year who receives a certificate and medallion then enters state
competition. State winners receive a plaque and enter the regional
competition. Regional winners receive a $2,000 scholarship and enter
a national competition held in Washington, DC. The National Youth
of the Year receives an additional $8,000 scholarship and is installed
by the President of the United States.
Torch Club
This small-group leadership development program, sponsored by Staples,
is targeted for youngsters ages 11 to 13. Within some 800 Torch Clubs
across the country, members elect officers and plan and implement
their own activities and community service projects. Each Torch Club
receives an official charter from Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
