What does the phrase masterpiece in the making mean to you? “It is something special made to better the world.” 

Why is it important for kids to use their voice? Kids and Teens are our future. If they don’t, nothing will change. 

Short Bio: Kylee is a 15-year-old sophomore who has been a Club kid since age 6. Kylee loves to volunteer around her community and at the Club; she credits volunteering as one of the things that got her to break out of her shell. With plans to launch a career in entertainment, it’s no surprise that one of her fondest moments was “at last year’s gala. I was on the stage as a dancer, and then my dance team and I continued to watch the show. Seeing all the success those kids were making made me inspired.”
