Key Club is the world's largest high school service organization. Every year, millions of hours of service are given towards homes, schools, and communities. Key Club is distinct from most clubs because it is sponsored by a local Kiwanis Club, which is composed of the community's leading business and professional individuals. Key Club is also different because it functions not only on the local level, but on a district and international level. This highly developed structure provides programs, literature, and the opportunity to relate to teens from countries all around the world.
