Character and Leadership

Building Good Character and Citizenship

A priority at the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Illinois is to guide our youth to be responsible, caring citizens. All club members are given the opportunity to participate in programs that help develop leadership skills. Our programs also inspire club members to contribute to the club and Elgin community.

 

Youth of the Year

Youth the Year is Boys & girls Clubs of America’s premier recognition program for ages 10-18. It is our signature effort to foster a new generation of leaders, fully prepared to live and lead in a diverse, global, and integrated world economy.

KeyStone Club

Keystone Clubs provide leadership development opportunities for young people ages 14 to 18. Youth participate in activities in three focus areas: academic success, career preparation and community service.
