History
Key Club was established in May 1925 in Sacramento, California by the local Kiwanis organization. Educators who sought to replace fraternities with a "more wholesome activity for youth" first introduced Key Club at Sacramento High School. The idea was to form a high school service club and allow students the capability of contributing to their own communities. Within a few years, it was evident that Key Club was gaining popularity across the United States. Many Kiwanis groups became interested in the service club's activities and soon sponsored similar organizations in their own cities. In years to follow, the organization continued to develop. Key Club continues to grow not only in the United States, but around the world. It has spread to seventeen countries and thirty-two districts. Undoubtedly, Key Club International lives up to its name as a club that serves the world. Key Club is an organization built to serve our "home, school, and community." Though its title may be a bit ambiguous, it calls its distinction through the services it promotes.
