Torch Club & FLOW
Torch Club & Future Leaders of Wakeman (FLOW) are powerful programs through which members in grades 5-8 develop their leadership skills, community service involvement, and teamwork. These clubs also prepare members to participate in Keystone Club, our premier teen program for high schoolers which further builds on leadership development through community outreach.
