Key Club Week
Key Club Week is November 2-6, and it’s your chance to show your school and community what Key Club is all about: service, friendship and making a difference in your community. Each day has a new theme to help you get involved, spread the word and show how Key Club can make a positive impact.
Global Engagement Rally: United in Service
Join us Saturday, November 7, for the seventh annual Global Engagement Rally! This is a unique opportunity for every Key Club member to connect globally, learn from inspiring leaders, discover new opportunities, strengthen leadership skills and leave with ideas and knowledge that will help you make an even greater impact.
