I pledge, on my honor, to uphold the Objects of Key Club International; to build

A note from your
PRESIDENT: Key Clubbers, I hope you all had a great summer and are ready to kick off the school year with Key Club service! The executive board has been working hard this summer to make sure that we have many new and fun service events planned for the school year. Some of the big events we’re looking forward to are our annual Holiday Dinner, the Tricky Tray, and a Masquerade Ball. These events can only be successful if all hands are on deck. After all, the backbone of Key Club is YOU. Our general members help us accomplish everything as a club! Throughout the year, we have many opportunities for you all to volunteer in the community and hope that you take part in them. We’re always open to hearing your ideas so feel free to contact us anytime during the school year with suggestions on how to improve the club or potential fundraisers/service projects that we can host. I’m very excited to work with you this year and hope that the 2015-2016 service year is better than ever! Yours in Caring and Service, Shreya Keshive

The Outside Organizations/Youth Opportunities Fund is a subcommittee in the standing committee International Programs. The Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) is an endowed fund for Key Club International that provides funds to help Key Clubs execute their service opportunities. YOF grants can help your club perform the service project of your dreams; start looking around your school,
community, or world for things that need improvement! Applications are due on October 15th at 11:59 EST each year – do not miss the deadline, there is only one funding cycle per year! Clubs may request financial assistance for said service project ranging anywhere from $100-$2000. The YOF committee usually allots the funds to clubs who ask for a portion of the total cost of the project, and to projects that are working with other organizations to fund and complete the project. The current application for the YOF grants can be found on the Key Club International site. The other main focus of this subcommittee is Outside Organizations. Our main goal is to shed light on some of the wonderful organizations in the world that Key Clubbers can get involved with, yet it is not an organization specifically endorsed by the New Jersey District. By showcasing outside organizations, we are trying to spread the love for service on a greater scale and increase awareness for certain organizations.
