Look who’s joining us in Orlando! You’ll experience something new every day! The Key Club Interntional convention is your chance to get ideas and inspiration that will help you grow as a member and a leader
Ready to level up your mindset? Coach Vera Jo “VJ” Bustos is bringing energy and motivation to the 2025 Key Club International Convention.
Coach VJ knows what it’s like to grind, compete and push through challenges — even when the odds are against you. She used that grit to become a two-time college All-American basketball player, and she played professionally in Greece before coaching at the college level.
She wasn’t the tallest, fastest or strongest, but she found her edge through mental toughness. In Orlando, Florida, U.S., she’ll teach Key Club members how to do the same. (Added bonus: She was a Southwest District Key Club member!)
Through her company, Mentality Solutions LLC, Coach VJ has trained athletes, business professionals, military veterans, surgeons and high performers of all kinds. She’s also the author of “A Mindful Journey: An Adventure of Discovery & Transformation.”
Don’t miss out. Come away with strategies for building the mindset of a champion.
Dominican-Venezuelan actress, entrepreneur and activist Emily Tosta joins us at the 2025 Key Club International Convention to celebrate our partnership with Thirst Project, an organization addressing the global water crisis.
Key Club members around the world are helping Thirst Project achieve its current goal of providing safe, clean water and sanitation to the entire Kingdom of eSwatini in Southern Africa. A longtime Thirst Project advocate, Tosta is leading this year’s Key Club Walks campaign, an annual challenge during which Key Club members raise funds for Thirst Project by walking 3.75 miles. That’s the average distance that 785 million people must walk to get safe, clean drinking water.
As an actress, Tosta’s breakthrough came with the role of Leticia Cruz on FX’s hit series “Mayans M.C.,” where she became a fan favorite across all five seasons. You might also have seen her as the female lead in the Freeform reboot of “Party of Five” and in her starring role opposite Oscar winner Nicolas Cage in the comedy horror film “Willy’s Wonderland.” More recently, she starred in the Christmas movie “How the Gringo Stole Christmas” alongside George Lopez and Mariana Treviño.
Beyond her acting career, Tosta is deeply committed to philanthropy. She is the founder of Karttos International, an organization dedicated to providing food, necessities and medical supplies to the people of Venezuela. She also co-founded DIFF EDUCATION, a nonprofit focused on building schools in Africa for underserved children. In addition, she is an ambassador for RE:WILD, Teen Cancer America and Feeding America.
You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear Tosta speak about the Key Club/Thirst Project connection and to find out which clubs she will honor for their achievements on behalf of the collaboration.
“This is my first opportunity to work with Key Club,” Tosta says. “This partnership feels like the perfect fit for all of us to come together to make the world a better place!”
