PROGRAM NAMES: Torch Club

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Youth Leadership Programs, Torch and Keystone Clubs, provide young people 10 to 17 with the opportunity to enrich their lives through service to others and the chance to explore the many prospects that exist in their communities. We engage youth in activities that increase their sense of self-worth and aid them in learning to contribute to the creation of caring neighbourhoods. Youth must know that they are valued by their community and need an environment that nurtures a sense of purpose and a positive view of the future. This program encourages contribution through service and provides a solid foundation for developing capable, caring and responsible young citizens.
