Key Club
Key Club International is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. Its core values are leadership, character-building, caring, and inclusiveness. Key Club International is a part of the Kiwanis International family of service-leadership programs. Many local Key Clubs are sponsored by a local Kiwanis club.
The Key Club was founded by California State Commissioner of Schools Albert C. Olney, and vocational education teacher Frank C. Vincent on May 7, 1925 at Sacramento High School.
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. Key Club offers its members many opportunities for hands-on service and leadership development.
Key Club exists on more than 5,000 high school campuses, primarily in the United States and Canada. It has grown internationally to 32 different nations from Australia to Singapore.
