In our FIRST Robotics Competition program, teens have six weeks to build a full sized robot to compete with other teams in the region to complete a set of challenges released at the beginning of each season.

CareerLaunch

Career Launch is a program that lets teens explore different careers and career opportunities through field trips, financial literacy classes, and for some, eventual job placement.

Youth of the Year

Each year, we choose a teen that we think best exemplifies Club values and strong moral character to be the Youth of the Year. This teen will go on to compete at state levels for the chance to win a scholarship.
