Torch Club
This program supports adolescents at a pivotal stage in their lives, giving them a place to lead, grow, and shine. As a “club within the Club,” Torch Club empowers members to step into leadership roles, make decisions, and work together on meaningful projects in service, education, health and fitness, and social recreation. Through these experiences, they build confidence, character, and skills that will guide them into the future.

Program Information
Every program is thoughtfully designed to meet kids and teens where they are—building confidence, curiosity, and skills that grow with them. Whether they’re exploring leadership, boosting academic success, learning life skills, or preparing for their future, each experience connects to one of our five core areas of growth. Some programs require sign-up, and many are created or guided by Team MarVan to ensure high-quality, meaningful experiences that make a lasting impact.
