Key Club Kiwanis Clubs in every part of the U.S. and Canada, have carried on an active program of service in their respective communities for more than fifty years. The business men who make up the local Kiwanis Clubs are leaders in their professions and community and have banded together to exchange useful ideas, to raise the standards of business and professional ehtics, to enjoy the fellowship of other commu- nity leaders, and to provide altruistic service for their com- munities whenever the opportunity arises. Since its incep- tion, Kiwanis has directed a great deal of its service program toward youth and its problems. Concern for underprive- leged children has resulted in a host of Kiwanis sponsored summer camps, provisions for health examinations, person- al guidance for juvenile delinquents, assistance toexisting agencies in setting up recreation centers providing vocation- al guidance, etc.and programs to stress importance of the home and school. One of the vital youth projects of Kiwanis, which offers a program unique among youth groups, is the Key Club. In it there is a fusing of Kiwanis citizenship services and the youth services. The emphasis is different, for the Key Club, instead of providing services to under privileged children alone, is an opportunity through which the leaders and potential leaders of all high school age groups are given a chance to develop their initiative and leadership ability by undertaking a pro- gram of service in the high school and the community similar to that of the Kiwanis Club. Through the example of Kiwanis, the Key Clubbers learn their prospective adult roles in life, the meaning of serviceable, and develop an aggressive citizenship which is necessary for the mainte- nance of our democratic way of life.
