HOW KEY CLUB WORKS
LEADERS
Key Club International is a self-governing, student-led organization. Each year, Key Club members elect their student officers at club, district and international levels during club meetings and district and international conventions.
STRUCTURE
Individual Key Clubs belong to divisions, which belong to districts, which comprise Key Club International.
DISTRICTS
There are 36 organized districts. Each district, normally defined by state or nation, tends to match a similar Kiwanis district and is led by a governor, who is elected by delegates at the annual district convention.
DIVISIONS
Districts are divided into divisions and each division has a lieutenant governor, a student leader who carries out the district’s policies and provides support to the clubs.
CLUBS
Key Clubs are established in a high school or equivalent institution. A community-based club also may be chartered. Elected officers can include president, one or more vice presidents, secretary, treasurer, editor, webmaster and one director from each class.
