Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students worldwide.
It is a student led organization that teaches leadership through service to others. Key Club serves on almost 5,000 high school campuses in over 38 countries with membership numbers greater than 270,000 students and continues to grow. Key Clubbers build themselves as they build their schools and communities.
Our parent organization is Kiwanis, and all Key Club members are also members of the Kiwanis International family. Together, we provide opportunities for nurturing student leaders.
I pledge, on my honor, to uphold the Objects of Key Club International; To build my home, school, and community; To serve my nation and world; and combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions.
