Key Club is the Kiwanis-sponsored organization for high school students.

The New York District of Key Club has it own web site at http://www.nydkc.org. You also can go to the web site of Key Club International for more information.

The first Key Club was founded in May of 1925 in Sacramento, California. In California during the twenties, high school fraternities were in their heyday. Educators and others were concerned with the pernicious side of these groups and sought some means of replacing them with more wholesome activity for youth, and the first Key Club was created to fill that need. The program was an immediate success, evidenced by the fact that the Sacramento High School Key Club is still in flourishing existence today.

There are now clubs located throughout North America and the Caribbean area. In these groups, thousands of students are receiving training in leadership and service. The Key Club District organizations hold their own annual conventions for fellowship, to coordinate the efforts of individual clubs, to exchange ideas on Key Clubbing, and to recognize outstanding service of clubs or individuals with appropriate awards.
