Volunteers are needed to attend meetings and work with teen members in regard to Keystone Club activities.
4. Mentoring Program - 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 13 weeks meeting with the youth at the Club. Time can be spent talking, doing homework, playing games or participating in other Club programs.
5. Coaching Club Members - The Clubs sponsor inter-Club leagues in basketball and volleyball. Volunteers are needed to assist with these programs.
