A huge thank you to the Charles Schwab Foundation for their incredible support of this year's National Keystone Conference! We're thrilled to recognize them as a Platinum Level Sponsor. At the conference, they brought an exciting and educational experience to our attendees—the Reality Store. This interactive event was a real-world version of the classic “Game of Life,” offering our young leaders the chance to engage in hands-on financial education. Thanks to the Foundation's generosity, participants navigated through real-life scenarios, learning valuable lessons in budgeting, financial planning, and decision-making. This activation not only made financial literacy fun and engaging but also equipped our youth with essential skills for a successful future! 💰 #Schwab4Good

In honor of the lives and service of those lost on September 11, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, with support from Youth Service America, 9/11 Day, and AmeriCorps, provided 55 grants to Military Youth Centers nationwide. These grants empowered youth to lead meaningful community service projects throughout September, reflecting the enduring spirit of service and unity that has shaped life after 9/11. Our Military Youth Centers selected one of three focus areas for their projects, allowing them to engage over 1,500 volunteers in meaningful community service: ▪Serving Those Who Serve ▪S – Stands for Service. T – Stands for Teachers ▪No Family Goes Hungry! We’re proud to support the next generation in honoring this legacy of resilience and community. 💙💜💛 #greatfutures #military

The teens from Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties are taking charge with “Project Vote,” using their voices to empower others and highlight the importance of voting as a tool for real change. Through the Think, Learn, Create Change platform, powered by our partner Family Dollar, they’re leading their community in understanding that every vote counts and every voice matters. 📢 These young leaders are proving that change starts locally and inspiring others to step up, make their voices heard, and be a part of shaping their community’s future. 🗳️✨ #ThinkLearnCreate #DoMore #Vote #YouthLeadership #GreatFutures

We had so much fun with The Coca-Cola Company this year at our annual Keystone Conference! During a breakout session, they transformed a space into a beverage lab where teens wore custom lab coats and learned the science behind how their favorite drinks are made. Thank you for supporting our youth and all that you do for our Clubs! 🥤💙
