The Boys & Girls Club of Cypress encourages teens to be leaders in our local community. To help foster leadership development, the Club for Teens offers two fun-filled, character-building clubs.
Members in 7th and 8th grade participate in L.E.G.I.T. (Leading Every Generation into Tomorrow) Leadership Club weekly to participate in activities related to service, education, health and fitness, and social recreation. Projects include collection drives, Club fundraisers, homework assistance with elementary school members, and leading Club activities.
Club members in high school participate in Keystone Club, the Boys & Girls Club Movement’s ultimate teen program for youth ages 14-18. This club focuses on leadership development opportunities for youth, both in and out of the Club, in three main focus areas: academic success, career preparation, and community service. Keystone Club meets weekly to plan and execute these activities. Throughout the month of October, the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress partnered with the Cypress Women’s Club to assemble care packages for veterans called Buddy Boxes. Keystone Club members led a collection drive and asked Club members and their families to donate travel-size hand sanitizers and hand lotions for Buddy Boxes.
