Keystone Club is a club at the Boys and Girls Club teen centers that provides the opportunity to give back to our community and furthers the progress of becoming prominent citizens for all students involved. Keystone Club helps strengthen leadership and social skills through the many service projects we do, like volunteering at the food bank, cleaning up our community, as well as helping at short-handed events or other local service events.

We offer the chance for students who want to be involved in their community to learn more about themselves through every unique project we complete. Every individual in this club is nothing short of unique and provides ideas with astounding results. We host recruitment activities each month that help expose what we have to offer to teens who want to be a part of a positive experience. We always want to be sure that what we do in our local area benefits the public. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing our work means something to the people whose daily lives are affected by it. We want it to be known that we are willing to help.

This club gives members opportunities to excel in their futures by offering scholarships to those who plan on going to college. In addition, College are Career fairs are put on by Keystone Clubs every year. Keystone also offers a yearly trip to Marge’s Camp in Graeagle, California for the annual BGCTM Keystone Club Summit. This two-night camping trip is a gathering of many of the teen centers in the Reno/Sparks area. Each site is represented by members of the sites’ Keystone Clubs. There are teambuilding competitions that are rewarded with trophies and the one who wins the most contests wins the annual Keystone Club award.

Our Keystone Club members will do whatever it takes to show that we can and will succeed regardless of the challenges ahead. We are a team. Keystone is a future that we choose to be a part of. It’s something that is within us. It’s a home that helps others in need.

We offer the chance for students who want to be involved in their community to learn more about themselves through every unique project we complete.
