The Torch Club is a small group of clubs offering service and leadership opportunities to children ages 9-12. Torch Clubs are a powerful vehicle for helping meet the needs of children by providing a sense of belonging, positive interaction with a small group of peers, guidance and support of a committed, caring adult, opportunities to make a difference in the world through helping others, a sense of pride, self worth and accomplishment that flows from learning, and to make and take responsibility for decisions.

• Torch Clubs are designed to assist youth in becoming productive citizens. Torch Club consists of an adult advisor and 6-15 boys/girls who elect their own officers and plan and manage their own activities in four areas:
• Service to Club and Community - Voter registration drives, hospital visits, community clean-ups, homework, reading projects and special events.
• Education - Trips to libraries, museums and historical areas, visits to colleges and businesses, publishing a club newsletter, quiz bowls and debates.
• Health and Fitness - Fitness clinics, dental exams, and blood pressure screening, hiking, roller-skating, bicycle trips and tournaments.
• Social Recreation - Trips to amusement parks, Club lock-ins, holiday parties, game room tournaments, and film festivals.

As a group, Torch Club members learn that they can make a difference in the community by taking an active and responsible role in setting the direction of their own lives.
