The mission of the Boys and Girls Club of South Central Texas is “to enable all young people, especially those
who need us most to realize their full potential as productive, caring,
responsible citizens.”
Torch Club was created in 1970 and
is a program offered to both boys and girls between the ages 11 to 13 that are
Junior High Club members. This program is affiliated with the National
Boys & Girls Club.
Torch Club tries to instill in each
individual the ability to "cultivate good character and effective
leadership skills." The goal of Torch Club is to have these children
become caring and involved citizens, and the way they accomplish this is to
develop activities that get these boys and girls to interact and participate in
their community.
Torch Club helps implement
activities in the following four ways: service to Club and community,
education, health and fitness and social recreation.
Torch Club is “a powerful vehicle
through which Club staff can help meet the special character development needs
of younger adolescents at a critical stage in their development.”
Torch Club also offers activities
that are fun for the kids, such as college tours, digital arts, DJ school,
field trips, sports and recreation and video gaming.
