This study examined the impact of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGC), and its Keystone Club (KC) component, on the leadership and citizenship development of its alumni. 14 alumni were interviewed using a structured interview technique. The constant comparative method was utilized to identify leadership traits and skills that alumni perceived they had developed as members of either organization. It was found that alumni from both organizations felt that they had developed the ability to lead groups, and developed the traits of integrity, honesty and patience. In addition, their participation in BGC/KC gave them the confidence to pursue leadership roles outside of BGC/KC. These traits and skills also carried over into their adult lives.
