Key Club Mission Statement
"Key Club is an international student-led organization which provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character, and develop leadership."
Key Club Motto and History
"Caring - Our Way of Life."
KEY. Kiwanis Educate Youth. We DO NOT make keys. With an initiative to build leadership, team work, and to help serve schools and communities key club is a large and well known leadership and service organization world wide to high school students. It is a student-led organization whose goal is to teach leadership through serving others. It was first established on May 7th, 1925 at Sacramento High School by a teacher named Frank C. Vincent. At Key Club International's first convention in 1946, the organization was given the responsibility of instituting a program that would bring together all Key Club's direct members' efforts and energies into an area that would truly make an International impact. This tradition is still followed today through the development of the Theme and Major Emphasis Program (MEP). "Children: Their Future, Our Focus" is Key Club International's Major Emphasis Program. It tries to train children to work with one another. To fulfill the mission of the MEP, Key Club International tries to help children. There are two components to the Major Emphasis Program - Service Partners and Service Initiatives. By working with Key Club International’s partner organizations, Key Clubs serve children by aiding other organizations committed to serving children. Key Club International has three partnerships: UNICEF, March of Dimes and Children’s Miracle Network. The Key Club service initiative is an element of the MEP and is created on a two-year basis. All of the hands-on service provided to children by Key Club International members is directed to a single area of need, to make an impact.
