Volunteer Opportunities Include:

Homework Help & Tutoring - From helping young members with reading to middle school and high school math we will help match your expirence with a youth that needs support completing their daily school work.

Keystone Club- It is extremely important to that we teach our members and especially our teens the importance of community service and caring for others. This program stresses these values. Volunteers are needed to attend meetings and work with teen members as they promote their newest Community Action Project, the "Pay it Forward" Campaign. Teens are setting aside money raised through their Club stores to go out into the community to do random acts of kindness, whether that is buying someone a cup of coffee to paying for someones gas, this is an opportunity for our youth to learn the gift of giving.

Mentoring - The purpose of the mentoring program is to have successful adults serve as positive role models for our youth members in a one on one setting. Our youth members need to know that they have adults that care about them. We ask that an adult mentor spend at least one hour a week for a minimum of 10 weeks meeting with the youth at the Club. Time can be spent talking, doing homework, playing games or participating in other Club programs.

Coaching - The Clubs offer youth an opportunity to participate in a variety of sports programs including: basketball, baseball, football, & wrestling. We are always in need of coaches to help with our team sports.
