Club History
                  The first Key Club was sponsored in May 1925 at  Sacramento High School in California by the Kiwanis club of Sacramento. The original concept was to develop a vocational guidance program aimed to combat the problems of student fraternities. From this evolved the idea of a service organization for the home, school and community. The idea slowly spread throughout the  country and by 1939, Florida had a sufficient number of  Key Clubs functioning to hold a state convention and form a district. Other districts followed Florida's lead, and finally in 1943, a national organization was started.  In 1946 the first club in Canada was formed. Also, to establish a strong foundation, the Key Club International Constitution and Bylaws were adopted during that same year. In October of 1947, the          California-Nevada-Hawaii District was formed and had its first convention the following year in Oakland, CA. As  time passes, Key Club International continues to grow  at an astounding rate. Today there are clubs in Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, Philippines, Taiwan, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States, Colombia, Bermuda, Panama, and New Caledonia.

What does a member do?
No, we do not make keys! We reach out in service and  provide for those in need. There are several ways that  Key Club is able to accomplish its objectives. One way  is by service projects that provide for the community; such as a neighborhood clean-up, working with able and  mentally challenged children, tutoring elementary school  students, visiting convalescent homes, beach cleanups, canned food drives, clothing drives, toy drives, "adopt a  family," helping out in soup kitchens, aiding the  homeless, doing a graffiti clean-up, etc. We also spread the ideas and Pediatric Trauma, IDD (Iodine Deficiency Disorder), and many others. Fund raising for organizations is a great way for Key Club to get  involved in worldwide affairs. Key Club also strengthens  the “individual” through the interactions through out the Key Club year. Key Clubbers will learn necessary skills  needed for everyday life.
