Community Service
Rustin has several community service clubs, including KICS (school-run), Key Club (branch of Kiwanis), and Interact (branch of Rotary International). Students do various service activities ranging from collecting arts and crafts supplies to helping elementary schools, conducting various drives, and fundraising.
Rustin also held its own community fair for the first time in 2009 to raise awareness about service and clubs in the community.
Rustin's Key Club was started by Helen Liu. In March 2010, the Pennsylvania District of Key Club International inducted Liu to the position of Lieutenant Governor of her Key Club Division. In March 2011, the Pennsylvania District of Key Club International elected Liu as the District Governor of all of Pennsylvania Key Club, the highest of only three state officer positions.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or service:
“Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.”
—John Lukacs (b. 1924)
“The gods’ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
