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:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
