Key Club International was started in May 1925 by two Kiwanians who were school administrators in Sacramento, California. They were hoping to counter unseemly high school groups with more wholesome activity for youth. Their idea was to create a junior service club in the high school, to be patterned after Kiwanis and to have its own classifications based on school interests.
Today, there are 180,000 members in over 4,300 clubs in 16 countries, making Key Club the world’s largest high school service organization. Members contribute 8.7 million service hours each year. |
