Keystone is BGCA’s premier teen leadership program. Founded in 1964, Keystoning meets teens’ vitally important needs for positive group experiences. With the guidance of Club staff, teens are given opportunities to make leadership decisions, serve others and engage in experiences that help to shape their knowledge of academic, career, community service and teen outreach initiatives and projects. Keystone is the Boys & Girls Club Movement’s most dynamic teen program, and it provides youth with valuable leadership and service experiences. Teens conduct activities in three areas: academic success, career exploration and community service. This program is part of a multi-year teen initiative that provides Clubs with tools and resources to create a positive place for teens as well as youth.
