Each Fall we hold a Youth Leadership Awareness Conference and invite over 50 high school students from each of the high schools in the Algoma region to participate in a hands on and interactive learning environment. The event takes place on a weekend from Thursday night to Sunday at noon in a remote venue. It embraces sports and motivational activities to help youth develop leadership skills to take back to their respective schools.

Annually we support Send a Kid to Camp under the auspices of Big Brothers and Big Sisters to meet specific children's needs.

At the College level, our club supports the annual Jack Code Memorial Bursary to a Sault College Student.
