Key Club International began in the humble city of Sacramento, California in the year 1952. By 1939, there was fifty different Key Clubs in place. That same year, Florida formed the first Key Club District, and four years later, this association began its first convention, attended by Key Clubbers from multiple states. From here on, Key Club only continued to grow. Today, Key Club International is the largest high school service organization in the world!
As Key Clubbers, we are called to live by these core values: caring, character building, inclusiveness, and leadership. In fact, our motto is "Caring — Our Way of Life".
