What Is Keystone Clubs?
Keystone is Boys & Girls Clubs of America's leadership program for teens ages 14-18. Members participate through a local Boys & Girls Club and, with an adult adviser, plan and carry out activities in three focus areas: academic success, career preparation, and community service. Local groups choose their own projects, meeting calendar, officers, and community priorities.
BGCA also holds an annual National Keystone Conference where members discuss issues and develop leadership skills. There is no single national student application, tuition, weekly schedule, or deadline: students use BGCA's Club finder and ask the local Club about Keystone availability, membership, fees, meeting times, transportation, and conference participation.
