| Major Emphasis Program |
| Imagine for a moment a group of people responsible for the future of our world. These people are responsible for the future of the global community. They are the doctors, lawyers, teachers, policemen, and ministers of tomorrow. Now imagine that the people in this group have no idea of their responsibilities and have no idea what they are supposed to accomplish in life. Pretty scary, right? Such of people exist they are called children. Key Club International has created its Major Emphasis Program that makes children the focus of our efforts. This theme, "Children: Their Future, Our Focus," unites Key Clubs under the banner of service that deals with the most important part of our communitites. As kids grow and mature, many are not given the chance to learn the difference between right and wrong, the importance of self-respect, or the insight to understand their emotions. This Major Emphasis Program focuses on the personal development and social interaction of children. We can help them learn through mentoring, making friends, and learning to work together. As we teach children how to work with others, we open doors to the future. OUr responsibility as Key Club members is to help these children develop personally and socially. If you ever forget why we serve others, remember, "Children: Their Future, Our Focus." (This was taken directly from the Official Program from International Convention, because I felt it was very important.)
