Workshops
The Summer Leadership Conference will give student leaders the opportunity to attend workshops focused in the following areas:
- Raising awareness about service opportunities with the help of our student leaders and partners.
- Building members’ leadership capacity and character potential through officer training.
- Learning the soft skills necessary to be an effective leader.
- Providing members with innovative ways to design meaningful service projects.
- Allowing collaboration with students from various Key Club Districts.
Join us for our workshop series on creating a Culture of Care in your club and community. This four-part series will give you the skills and resources to be a leader in your club and community. Upon completion of these four sessions, each student will receive a certificate and follow-up communication and training throughout the year as you join our Culture of Care.
