Student Leadership – Key Club

Members make the world a better place through service. In doing so, we grow as individuals and as leaders by answering the call to lead, summoning the courage to engage and developing the heart to serve.

Student led. Service focused.

Key Club is a self-governing, student-led organization that is sponsored by Kiwanis of Carefree Club as well as the members and fundraising. Each year, Key Club members elect their student officers for club, district and international boards. Key Club members receive guidance and support from adult volunteers, including Kiwanis advisors, faculty advisors and district administrators. Additionally, the Key Club South West District staff trains and assists district governors and international board members.

Our Key Club has made a focus on community relations by volunteering at the Kiwanis Marketplace Thrift Store, Owl Sanctuary, Litter pick up in the community and much, much more.
