Teens from the Edwards Air Force Base Keystone Club set out on a mission July 25 - 28 to build unit cohesion, welcome in new members and plan out community service projects and fundraising events for the 2016-17 year. Seventeen young adults traveled to Big Bear, California, to participate in team-building activities such as hiking, kayaking, horseback riding and zip lining. Some of their plans for the upcoming year include assisting the Airman and Family Readiness Center with their Hearts Apart program, supporting the upcoming Palmdale Breast Cancer Awareness Fun Run, college campus visits, games for children during the Boys & Girls Club’s World Wide Day of Play, adopting a family during the holiday season and many other events and activities throughout the year.

 

The Keystone Club is a leadership club that encourages teens to learn how to serve their community, help others and plan out projects that enhance their leadership skills. They focus on four different criteria: community service, career preparation, academic success and teen outreach. The club meets every Wednesday at 3 p.m. at the Teen Center located in Bldg. 7211.
