Key Club Week

By: Jenny Nguyen (Technology Chair)

Join us for the best week of the year: Key Club Week!

Background information

In 1925, the first Key Club was formed in Sacramento, California, with 11 charter members. The idea was sparked by two Sacramento Kiwanis Club members, Albert C. Olney and Frank C. Vincent. Key Club has a long and rich history, and it’s been standing strong for a little over 100 years.

What is Key Club?

Key Club is a student-led, high school organization. Our members make the world a better place through service. In doing so, we grow as individuals and as leaders by answering the call to lead, summoning the courage to engage, and developing the heart to serve.

Key Club week is from  November 3 - November 7. During Key Club Week, we get to show our community what Key Club is truly about: service! Show your pride for Key Club by participating every day!

Show your K!

Show people what Key Club is all about! Spread the word by wearing Key Club gear and publicizing Key Club Week in local stores, on your school website, in community newspapers — even on a door. Decorate the door of your advisor, a business, or a community leader to spread awareness about Key Club. Make sure to tag @keyclubint in your stories, feed, etc. — your officers could score some winning merch!

Tuesday

Invite and Include!

Let your friends know why you love Key Club! This is the perfect day to show off how awesome and inclusive Key Club is, and why it matters so much to your school and community. Why not ask a friend to come along to a service project or meeting? It’s a chance for them to see firsthand how Key Club helps us grow as students and have a blast while making a real difference. Try giving a friend an official club invite. 

Wednesday

Dare to Share!

Celebrate diversity and equity with the Key Club family. We have members across the globe, and we want to spotlight you! Check out these GIPHY stickers you can use on your Instagram story to share to show what makes you and your club shine.

Thursday

Random acts of Kindness!

A smile goes a long way. Spread happiness throughout your school by implementing little random acts of kindness, such as leaving cards with inspirational messages on every student’s locker or just simply holding the door for someone else. You can share these kindness posters around your school and community. Post a picture and tag @keyclubint, and your post might be shared!

Friday

Connect the Ks!

Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world and is a member of the Kiwanis family. Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by getting the whole gang involved. Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K International, Builders, K-Kids, or Aktion clubs and team up for a joint service project or virtual event. Click here to gain some ideas on what you can do! If you have a really cool service project, submit it to the service directory. Use the KCI week GIPHY stickers to let us know which Kiwanis Family you plan to join next.
