back to basics

Contrary to popular belief, we don't make keys. And don't mistake us for the Glee Club because we don't sing (too much), either. Here's who we are: 

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. As 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.
