Bright, shining service Members needed: 3-5+

Take an afternoon to brighten the classrooms and corridors of your campus…literally. Gather a few members of your Key Club and equip them with glass cleaner, towels and everything else needed to cut through the grime on the windows.

Care cards Members needed: 3+ A great service project to incorporate into a club meeting Fashion handmade holiday, birthday or sympathy cards for members of your community or donate to your local Children’s Miracle Network hospital. Write encouraging or inspiring messages inside each card and deliver as necessary. Remember to sign each card as “From the members of our local Key Club.”

School supply drive Members needed: 1+ Having all the necessary supplies to complete the year is vital to the academic success of every student. However, many young students in our communities go without each year. To address this, your club can host a drive to collect new or gently used supplies at the beginning and end of each school year. Supplies can then be donated in bulk to a local elementary school, since they’ll know how to distribute them best.
