What we do…
Key Club International is the high school organization sponsored by Kiwanis International. Key Club assists Kiwanis in carrying out its mission to serve the children of the world. High school student members of Key Club perform acts of service in their communities, such as cleaning up parks, collecting clothing and organizing food drives. They also learn leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and holding elected leadership positions at the club, district and international levels.

RULES & REQUIREMENTS
* Key Club members complete 25 hours of community service per semester, for a total of at least 50 hours in a school year. At least 10 hours per semester must come from Key Club (in-club) sponsored projects.
​
* All hours should be entered by individual club members, using the Hours Google Doc, under the “Hours” tab above.
* It is your responsibility to keep up with your hours throughout the semester. All hours for the semester are due the last instructional school day of that semester.
​
* In order to earn a cord for graduation, you must be in “good standing” for n number of semesters. (n = the number of years you’ve been in Key Club, plus one.) Example, if you’ve been in Key Club 3 years, you must have been in “good standing” for (3 + 1) four semesters. “Good standing” means you’ve met your hours requirement.
​
* If you sign up for a project and cannot attend, you must notify your grade level representative, the club president, or Mrs. King. If you sign up and do not attend without notifying someone twice in a single semester, you will be removed from Key Club.
