Care About Others

At Key Club International's first convention in 1946, the organization was given the responsibility of instituting a program that would bring together all Key Club's direct members' efforts and energies into an area that would truly make an International impact. This tradition is still followed today through the development of the Theme and Major Emphasis Program (MEP).

"Children: Their Future, Our Focus" is Key Club International's Major Emphasis Program. It unites Key Clubs under the banner of service that deals with the most important part of our community, our youth. Focusing on the personal development and social interaction of children, Key Club members can help them learn through mentoring, making friends, and working together. As children are taught to work with others, Key Club members open the doors to their future.

Each year Key Club International teams up with other organizations.  The Major Emphasis Program focuses on a specific organization during each season of the year.  As you plan your club's service programming for the year, keep in mind that with each new season comes a new opportunity to make a difference.  Each Key Club is encouraged to participate with the following organizations as they join together to make a difference in the life of children.  Click the link for a list of organizations have been approved as official partners.
