Members came together in a fun, safe, learning environment that reinforced the Torch Club’s values and traditions in four pillar areas: service to Club and community, education, health and fitness, and social recreation.
More than
200 teens and advisors from 17 different Boys & Clubs across the Northeast

confident that they are capable of achieving anything they put their minds
to.
The focus is to motivate Torch Club members to express their individuality and become more confident in knowing that they truly make a difference in this world.
