00:07.346 --> 00:08.749
- [Narrator] Communities create youth programs

00:08.749 --> 00:10.636
as a positive influence to keep teens

00:10.636 --> 00:13.136
or children busy after school.

00:13.423 --> 00:16.484
The Keystone Club aims at creating a fun atmosphere,

00:16.484 --> 00:19.086
while also teaching valuable life lessons.

00:19.086 --> 00:22.077
- Primarily it focuses on four main things.

00:22.077 --> 00:25.077
^One is academic success, leadership,

00:26.830 --> 00:28.172
^community service,

00:28.172 --> 00:30.755
^and also character development.

00:31.383 --> 00:32.689
- [Narrator] Today law enforcement from

00:32.689 --> 00:35.012
around the Kaiserslautern Military Community

00:35.012 --> 00:37.210
are conducting a dialogue series with youth

00:37.210 --> 00:38.615
to build the sense of mutual trust

00:38.615 --> 00:40.115
and understanding.

00:40.497 --> 00:44.110
- Really, pretty much it's about community reach.

00:44.110 --> 00:46.610
Trying to, you know, see a ...

00:46.629 --> 00:48.147
That's the law enforcement.

00:48.147 --> 00:50.693
We have a community outreach program

00:50.693 --> 00:53.525
where law enforcement gets out into the communities

00:53.525 --> 00:54.878
to let them know that "Hey,

00:54.878 --> 00:57.425
"We are not here to get anybody in trouble

00:57.425 --> 00:58.781
"but we are just here to help."

00:58.781 --> 01:00.308
- [Narrator] The kids and law enforcement

01:00.308 --> 01:02.253
started the event with an ice-breaker

01:02.253 --> 01:04.253
that included a barbecue

01:05.199 --> 01:07.832
and games to get familiar with one another.

01:07.832 --> 01:09.989
Then it was time for a sit down discussion.

01:09.989 --> 01:11.221
- I also learn that when you explain

01:11.221 --> 01:14.721
what we can do to help their job be easier

01:14.966 --> 01:17.966
was just basically being a good kid,

01:18.577 --> 01:20.256
following the instructions,

01:20.256 --> 01:22.006
not breaking the law.

01:22.464 --> 01:23.627
- [Narrator] The final event of the day

01:23.627 --> 01:25.606
was a basketball game between law enforcements

01:25.606 --> 01:27.116
and the Keystoners.

01:27.116 --> 01:28.561
After a couple of quarters

01:28.561 --> 01:31.294
their good sporstmanship and a love of the game

01:31.294 --> 01:33.461
the youth came out on top.

01:35.227 --> 01:38.017
- The goal of Keystone is to better yourself

01:38.017 --> 01:39.434
as an individual.

01:39.769 --> 01:43.852
And by doing so to help others better themselves.

01:44.151 --> 01:47.070
Our ultimate goal for not only our Keystone members,

01:47.070 --> 01:48.446
but for all of our youth,

01:48.446 --> 01:49.866
is that they can go out in this world

01:49.866 --> 01:51.880
and become productive citizens.

01:51.880 --> 01:52.847
- [Narrator] Keystone Clubs can be found

01:52.847 --> 01:56.556
