Programs and
Services
In developing our programs and activities the club’s underlying philosophy is the Youth Developing Strategy. This strategy enables us to maximize opportunities for young people to acquire four basic “senses” which help them build self-esteem and grow into responsible and caring citizens.
These four “senses” are:
A Sense of Competence
A Sense of Usefulness
A Sense of Belonging
A Sense of Power
and Influence
