Does Key Club makes keys? It’s a common question for new members taking the name of the club literally. While others may laugh at the innocence of the question, as veteran member of the club I’ve realized Key Club, in a way, does make keys. The club opens doors to endless amount of opportunities.

It wasn’t until I joined Key Club that I realized anyone can make a difference. The student-led community service based club suddenly became so much more than just another thing to put on my application.

And I got the opportunity to connect with people who shared the same joy and love of volunteering. Key Club soon become a family that has a permanent spot in my heart. The club’s four values of leadership, character building, caring and inclusiveness soon became mine. For the last four years, Key Club has been a door opening experience, offering new opportunities and a new way to be happy.
