Who Are We? Key Club is the
oldest and largest service program for high school students. What makes Key Club so
successful is the fact that it is a student-led organization that teaches leadership
through serving others. Members of the Kiwanis International family, Key Club members
build themselves as they build their schools and communities.
Today, Key Club exists on almost 5,000 high school
campuses, primarily in the United States and Canada. Growth efforts, however, have taken
the Key Club experience internationally to Canada, the Caribbean nations, Central and
South America, and most recently to Asia and Australia.
Key Club International is an organization of individual Key
Clubs and is funded by nominal dues paid by every member. Its officers are high school
leaders elected by the members at district and International conventions. The organization
offers a wide range of opportunities to its members:
- Leadership development
- Vocational guidance
- College scholarships
- Subscription to the KEYNOTER magazine
- Service-learning
- Personal enrichment
- Value-added member benefit programs
- Liability insurance coverage
Originally, Key Club adopted as its motto, We
Build, the same motto as its parent organization, Kiwanis International. In 1976,
the organization opted to change its motto to Caring Our Way of Life
because these words more clearly conveyed members reasons for helping others. |
