8 VICENZA, Italy - The annual Martin Luther King Jr.’s Day of Service has developed into a nationwide effort to transform the federal holiday into a day of community service, which is nationally known as a “day on, not a day off”.
One of the projects that took place this year within the Vicenza military community involved students, enrolled in the Child and Youth Services (CYS) Keystone Club, named the Keystone Cougars.
With the guidance of Danielle Campos, CYS youth program Keystone advisor, the Keystone Club aims to have a positive impact on club members and the community.
“The Keystone Club provides leadership development opportunities for young people 14 to 18 years old,” Campos said. “Youth participate in activities in four focus areas: academic success, career preparation, community service and teen outreach.”
