What is Key Club?

Key Club International is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. It is a student-led organization that teaches leadership through serving others. Members of Key Club, a part of the Kiwanis International family, build themselves as they build their schools and communities.

The organization was the brainchild of California State Commissioner of Schools Albert C. Olney, and vocational education teacher Frank C. Vincent, who together worked to establish the first Key Club at Sacramento High School in California, on May 7, 1925. Female students were first admitted in 1976, eleven years before women were admitted to the sponsoring organization, Kiwanis International. In 2002, the KCI International Board officially adopted caring, character building, inclusiveness, and leadership as the core values of the organization. Today, Key Club exists on almost 5,000 high school campuses, primarily in the United States and Canada. It has grown internationally to 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. It offers a wide range of opportunities to its members.

Does Key Club make keys?

No, KEY Club does not make keys. The KEY in KEY Club actually doesn’t stand for anything! The original creators of Key Club were called the KEY boys around their high school and named the club after themselves. Key Club is part of the Kiwanis Family.

Who are the Kiwanis?

The name “Kiwanis” means “we trade” or “we share our talents.” It was coined from an American Indian expression, Nunc Kee-wanis.

Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children and communities. Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged, and care for the sick. They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. No problem is too big or too small. Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things happen!
As Kiwanis clubs and members, we see it everyday!
