Key Clubs exist on more than 5,000 high school campuses in 30 countries in the US, Canada, Caribbean nations, Central and South America, Asia, and Australia with more than 260,000 members.
Key Club International is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. It is a student-led organization that teaches leadership through service to others. Members of the Kiwanis International family and Key Club members build themselves as they build their schools and communities.
San Carlos Kiwanis sponsors Key Clubs at three local high schools, in some cases having more members than any other campus club!
Besides building a sense of community service, Key Clubs are well organized to teach leadership and team building skills applicable throughout their lives.
