What even is Key Club?

Contrary to our name, we… do not make keys — at least in the literal sense.

Rather, we make keys to open doors to service, leadership, and community!

We are the OLDEST, LARGEST, and MOST SUCCESSFUL non-profit student-led organization for high school students!

Through community service, we teach and spread our core values:

  • Caring

  • Character-building

  • Inclusion

  • Leadership

No matter who you are or where you’re from, you are invited to join us to become a part of our mission to transform our communities through service and growth.

Funded by our nominal dues paid by every member and generous contributions by our parent organization Kiwanis International, we launch service, fundraising, and leadership-building initiatives for high schoolers across the globe. Not only do we provide service for our community, we also support our partnered charities such as:

  • March of Dimes, which funds research to reduce premature births,

  • UNICEF, which works to overcome issues afflicting children globally,

  • the Pediatric Trauma Program, which works to combat pediatric trauma, the leading cause of death in children, and —

  • the Children’s Miracle Network, which raises funds for children’s hospitals.

In addition to our continuous community service, we also hold many leadership and spirit building events throughout the year, such as:

  • District Convention, an event to elect district board members and meet Key Clubbers across the district,

  • International Convention, an event to elect international board members and meet Key Clubbers worldwide,

  • Region Training Conference, an event to grow as a leader in a camp-like environment, and—

  • Fall Rally, where you get to participate in spirit battles against other divisions across CNH!
