Riverside High School received its Key Club charter in February 2017. Our service projects include Thank-You-Gram gift packets to our safety officers, kitchen and custodial staff, Secretary's day gifts, hurricane relief flashlights, community gardening and more. Meetings are held weekly from September to May. Young people who join this international student-led organization enjoy many opportunities to perform community service, build character and develop leadership skills. 

            Yonkers Basics Anniversary

On June 13 we all got together to celebrate the first anniversary of the Yonkers Basics program. Members of our Key Club volunteered to greet guests at the door, assist with passing around the hors d'oeuvres and cleaning up. As always they made us proud.
