Key Club International is a worldwide volunteer organization, with different types of clubs available to everyone- no matter their age. Most people know that Key Club is a volunteer organization run by High School students; volunteering in order to check off another thing on their way to applying for colleges. However, what most people don’t know is that Kiwanis (the organization that envelops Key Club) has clubs for Elementary School students, Middle School students, University students, working-class folk, and also people with disabilities.
Service is an integral part of every community, that way that individuals can be a part of something that helps the area visibly grow and develop. If everyone in the community is involved with service, then that betters community while also bettering the individuals who helped in the first place. Kiwanis helps to provide the opportunity of volunteering to people of every age and stage of life, while also providing opportunities to travel and to lead their respective organizations.
In Key Club, a club for teens, members are able to travel to many different areas in order to improve their abilities and methods to improve their communities. They can travel to Key Leader in the fall, where members can learn to grow more cohesively as a club and also learn better methods to serve. In the spring, members are able to travel to Dallas for DCON (District Convention) in order to learn how to better perform
in their leadership positions and as volunteers. Kiwanis has a level for every age group; with K-Kids for Grade-School
children, which teaches kids at a young age how important service is and how great it can make others (and them) feel; Builder’s Club for Middle School students, which gives tweens the opportunity to see service at a higher level while also working with older possible role models from local High Schools; Key Club students in High School, which gives teens the ability to see visible change in their communities through the work of their club as a whole; Circle K for University students, in order to keep the service spirit for individuals who enjoy bettering the community around them; Kiwanis for adults, which helps members of the working class get involved with service as grown adults; and finally Aktion Club, which helps adults with disabilities to interact and serve the area around them.
Kiwanis has organizations present in 80 countries, with numerous communities being helped along with money being raised for other organizations like ELIMINATE, which helps to eliminate neonatal tetanus from women and babies from many countries all over the world. Service is something that Kiwanis helps everyone participate in, because volunteering isn’t just beneficial to the community; it’s beneficial to everyone involved.

BACK T SCHOOL (and a gold star showing)
GET AN A+ IN ORGANIZATIONWhen prepping for the new school year, designate a drawer in your kitchen for school lunch items. That way, you have everything lined up and ready to go in the mornings. This also helps to keep countertops decluttered for showings. The less clutter, the better!
