Evangel Christian School Key Club Chapter Alabama Division 6
Evangel Christian School is honored to be granted a Key Club Chapter by Kiwanis International. Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. What makes Key Club so successful is the fact that it is a student-led organization that teaches leadership through serving others. Members of the Kiwanis International family, and Key Club members build themselves as they build their schools and communities.
Today, Key Club exists on over 5,000 high school campuses, primarily in the United States and Canada. Growth efforts, however, have taken the Key Club experience internationally to Canada, the Caribbean nations, Central and South America, and most recently to Asia and Australia.
Key Club International is an organization of individual Key Clubs funded by nominal dues paid by every member. Its officers are high school leaders elected by the members at district and International conventions. The organization offers a wide range of opportunities to its members:
Originally, Key Club adopted its motto, “We Build,” the same motto as its parent organization, Kiwanis International. In 1976, the organization changed its motto to “Caring – Our Way of Life” because these words conveyed members’ reasons for helping others more clearly.
