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:
“We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
—Aldo Leopold (1886–1948)
“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
