Our Character & Leadership programs empower members to become confident, compassionate leaders in their Club, schools, and communities. Through leadership opportunities, service-learning projects, and youth-led initiatives, members develop responsibility, teamwork, communication, decision-making, and the confidence to create positive change. Programs include:

Girl Scouts
Girls Scouts is a leadership development program that offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success by building girls of courage, confidence, and character.

Keystone

K-Kids
Sponsored by the Burbank Sunrise Kiwanis, K-Kids learn leadership through service, taking on the responsibility of running a K-Kids club as they plan and participate in community service projects serving their schools and community.

Torch Club
Torch Clubs are chartered, small-group leadership and service clubs for boys and girls ages 11-13. A Torch Club is a powerful vehicle that helps Club staff meet the special character development needs of younger adolescents at a critical stage in their life.
