WHAT IS KEYSTONE?
Keystone is BGCA’s premier teen leadership program. Founded in 1964, Keystoning meets teens’ vitally important needs for positive group experiences. With guidance of Club staff, opportunities are provided to make leadership decisions, engage in academic and career experiences, and serve others.

WHAT DO OURKEYSTONE MEMBERS DO?
Our Keystone meets once a week to plan out our upcoming events. We focus on the growth of our teens in academics and future career opportunities! We are also very committed to community service. Our meetings are held every Wednesday from 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. Outside of the meetings we try and stay active in the community and at the Boys & Girls Club. We hold fundraisers, teen nights, and movie nights! We take field trips to colleges, businesses, and other clubs! We have a ton of opportunities and it is up to the teens involved in Keystone to make the opportunities a reality!!!

Last year’s conference in Atlanta included a trip to Six Flags over Georgia, celebrity appearances by Mario Lopez, Bow Wow, and Ashanti, and a great weekend full of positive, life impacting experiences that our teens will never forget.
