Key Clubs
Key Club International is the largest high school service organization in the world. Key Club assists Kiwanis in carrying out its mission to serve the children of the world. Members of Key Club perform acts of service in their communities, such as organizing food drives, making comfort dolls for the local hospital or serving guests at the annual crab feed. They also learn leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and holding elected leadership positions at the club, district and international levels.
The Kiwanis Club of Rancho Murieta proudly sponsors three Key Clubs, Sheldon HS, Pleasant Grove HS and Rancho Murieta teens. Each school is assigned a Kiwanis advisor to give ideas to the Key Club Board members and help them out with events. As advisors, we strive to empower our youth to become competent, capable and compassionate leaders by helping them learn to help others.
