Watertown keystone
Keystone is the Boys & Girls Club Movement’s most dynamic teen program. It affords high school teens an opportunity to gain valuable leadership and service experience. Activities are conducted in four areas:
- academic success
- career exploration
- leadership skills
- community service
Members must meet certain requirements to become a part of Keystone.
YOUTH OF THE YEAR
Since 1947, Youth of the Year has been the Boys & Girls Club of America’s premier recognition program, celebrating the extraordinary achievements of Club members. Each year, one exceptional young person from a Boys & Girls Club rises to the role of National Youth of the Year.
The National Youth of the Year serves as both an exemplary ambassador for Boys & Girls Club youth and as a strong voice for all of our nation’s young people. The journey to being named National Youth of the Year begins locally and progresses to state, regional and national levels with an additional military phase for members of BGCA-affiliated Youth Centers on U.S. military installations.
