7 Habits of Highly Successful Key Clubs By Sue Cummins | Notes taken from a session at the Key Club International Convention 1. They actively involve their new members. They go out of their way to find out the interests of the new members. 2. They have a stronger relationship with their Kiwanis Advisor/Kiwanis Club. For example, they provide a time for the Kiwanis Advisor to share at the club meetings. They do things like “Happy Change” at club meetings. 3. They have an active Faculty Advisor. And they show appreciation to both advisors. 4. They have a least one large-scale event each year for which they are known. This could be something like a Senior Prom for the retirement community; a Haunted Trail or Spooktacular at Halloween; a Winter Formal or a blood mobile for the school; a Homeless sleep-out; whatever it is, it’s done EVERY year and the school identifies it with the Key Club! 5. They have a good relationship with the school principal. Every year, the officer team should visit at least once with the Principal to share goals and find out what the club might do to benefit the school. 6. They have a functioning committee system. This provides for more regular member engagement in the club decision-making process. Suggested committees could be: Promotion, Publication & Program; Recruitment, Service; School Projects, etc. 7. They attend District Convention and take advantage of district-level contacts. These are incredibly important because it helps members to feel like they are involved in a bigger endeavor and gives them more respect for the organization. Highly effective clubs have: ~ Enthusiastic participation from most/all members ~ Committed to the mission and values of Key Club as a service organization ~ Healthy membership size and are growing ~ Effective and are work-based High-performing Key Clubs are: ~10% more likely to have members report that the club has inspired them to do more service. ~ More likely to have a larger membership. 61% of high performing Key Clubs have more than 50 members. But, you don't have to be a big Key Club to be high-performing. ~ Better at keeping members engaged with their meetings. They have higher rates of meeting attendance – members come because they feel connected. One suggestion is for officers to make an effort at the beginning of club meetings to talk with all the members. ~ Doing lots of service! Members go above and beyond the minimum service of 50 hours The minutes include our brainstorming thoughts for how to meet all seven of these criteria. Particular focus was on #1, #4 and #5.
