What is Key Club? Key Club is the oldest and largest service
International Student Led Organization in the world. It is a
service organization whose goal is to teach leadership through
helping others. Students have the opportunity to serve their
community and help improve society through this organization.
Slide 3
Why should you introduce Key Club to your school? Introducing
Key Club to your high school will give students in your school the
opportunity to serve their community and learn valuable leadership
skills at the same time. They will be able to participate in
service projects while building their character. It is a great way
to show students that they can make a change in the world at such a
young age. It shows how one small act really can improve the world.
Not only is Key Club a great way to help your community, it is also
a great way to meet new people, not only in your school, but across
the nation.
Slide 4
How to charter a club? You need fifteen kids to officially
charter your key club. You also need one faculty advisor from your
school and a Kiwanis advisor from your Kiwanis Club. It is not
necessary, but most Key Clubs have a sponsoring Kiwanis Club that
pays for their chartering. If you are a community based Key Club,
the Kiwanis/Faculty Advisor may serve a double role or the Kiwanis
advisor may be from the community organization. The first year with
chartering, you do not need to pay dues. After you are officially
chartered, have a ceremony! Here the President of the Kiwanis Club
will present you with your charter, you get to celebrate, and you
can install the club's officers!
Slide 5
Why is Key Club important? Key Club is important because it
gives students the opportunity to grow as people, and to see the
importance in helping others. Whereas teenagers regularly would not
want to go to community service events, Key Club pushes them to do
so, it shows them that serving your community not only helps
others, it also helps them to learn and improve as the future
adults and workers in our society. Key Club give students the
opportunity not only to improve their community, but to improve the
world
