A chance for teens to socialize, grow, give, and get service learning hours. Our club meets regularly once a week to schedule events, fund-raising opportunities, and to socialize (varies by center). Teens have the opportunity to run for office (president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, or sergeant at arms). We meet with the Leader's Clubs from all over the Midwest quarterly for overnight social/service trips.
This club offers teens a fun and easy way to get their service learning hours for high school, as well as fill their resumes with different volunteer opportunities and experiences.
