Key Club is an international service organization for high school students. Since the beginning in 1925, Key Club has supported the transformation of high school students as they graduate and become the world’s next class of leaders. Key Club is a Service Leadership Program; the high school branch of the Kiwanis International family. Many Key Clubs are sponsored by a local Kiwanis club. Northwest Kiwanis Sponsors Key Clubs in Grandview Heights and Upper Arlington High Schools.
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. Key Club is one of the only internationally structured high school organizations led by high school students. There are four distinct levels in the organization’s leadership hierarchy: International, District, Division, and Club.
Key Clubs are lead by student led, planning their own projects and fundraisers as well as electing officers for the club. Officer positions include club president, club vice president, club secretary, club treasurer, club bulletin editor, and club webmaster.
