Helping youth become responsible, caring citizens and acquire skills for participating in the democratic process is the main thrust of these programs. They also develop leadership skills and provide opportunities for planning, decision-making, contributing to Club and community and celebrating our national heritage.

Sawyer shares:
“The Club has been a second home to me. A place that has taught me leadership and the importance of being a leader. A place where I’ve made countless connections and memories. I’m passionate about coaching youth sports. Every single day I spend coaching, I learn something different and grow. I really enjoy seeing the kids grow as players and teammates, too.”
Mentoring
Club members are paired with peer or adult mentors to positively affect their lives.
