Torch Club

Torch Club provides opportunities for members to demonstrate the positive impact youth and teens can have on their communities. Through smallgroup, peer-driven Leadership and Service clubs, members ages 10-13 identify needs in their Club or community, and create and implement service projects to address those needs. New Leadership and Service Sessions allow members to explore, practice and strengthen critical leadership skills.
