What is CKI?

What is CKI? CKI stands for Circle K International and we are the largest collegiate student-led service organization in the world. Circle K revolves around three core tenets: service, leadership, and fellowship. Here is a breakdown of the levels of Circle K to make it easier to understand.

The Golden Gate Division is a group of Circle K clubs located in the northern part of the Bay Area. Clubs within the Golden Gate Division often collaborate with one another through events like the monthly Divisional Council Meetings (DCM), where clubs gather to give their updates, and the monthly Divisional Service Projects (DSP), where members of the Golden Gate Division work together in a large service event. Schools within the Golden Gate Division include Cal State East Bay, Santa Rosa Junior College, UC Berkeley, and University of San Francisco. Our current Lieutenant Governor is UCBCKI’s own, Sharon Hu!

The CNH District of Circle K is a supergroup of nine divisions in the three states of California, Nevada, and Hawaii. These divisions meet together for several annual district-wide events, including Fall Training Conference (FTC), Crazy Kompetition for Infants North/South (CKI North/South), Spring Training Conference (STC), District Large-Scale Service Project (DLSSP), and District Convention (DCON).

Kiwanis International is a service organization dedicated to improving the lives of children within different communities all around the world. To accomplish and spread this mission, Kiwanis Clubs often sponsor Kiwanis Family clubs at different branches: K-Kids (elementary school), Builders Club (middle school), KIWINS (high school), Key Club (high school), Circle K (college), and Aktion Club (adults with disabilities). Our sponsoring Kiwanis International Club is Berkeley Kiwanis.
