Key Club: Community Service Experience

Key Club the motto is “Caring--Our Way of Life” what that means is caring for others and helping others less fortunate than ourselves. Caring and serving others something that I have always been passionate about doing. If I were selected to become a member of Key Club I would design a service project that would help all students get involved with serving the community. My service project that I would design would be entitled “Nights of Poverty”. As teenagers we all enjoy going out with our friends and eating dinner and hanging out. On Friday or Saturday nights I would design a project to where instead of going out with friends to eat we would all come together as a school for dinner and donate money to another city school to assist

For the volunteer project, I decided to volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club. Volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club has been a great experience. Interacting with the children’s and trying to get to know them little by little has been real nice. Each child is unique in their own way. During my experience volunteering I noticed a couple things that related to what we learned in sociology. Its really hard not to relate anything to sociology anymore; everything seems to be connected.

In Key Club, we do activities with the Kiwanis group and for our community. A great program that we do is the mentoring program for the kids in the elementary to connect the high schoolers with the elementary kids. My mentees have all been great kids, but not all of them have the best home life. This gives me more drive to brighten their day anyway I can. For me, it has been a very gratifying experience to see my mentees become better students and kids because they have someone positive to look up to.

The final mast of school and community involvement was catalyzed when I joined Key Club as a freshman. Finding a passion for service and leadership, it rapidly became my primary focus in deepening my high school experience. Key Club inspired me to search for further opportunities for leadership and involvement, leading me to join Student Council, Relay for Life, and so forth. Through my various executive positions, I have not only improved my own character and qualities, but also inspired others around me to do the

Clubs specializing in volunteering, truly trying to combat the problem such as Key Club while also working in unison with other clubs such as Model UN and Spanish Club. Volunteering is essential in eradicating the problem of homelessness in our community. Although volunteering at many places over high school such as Honor Flight assisting war veterans for a flight to Washington D.C to visit war memorials, for the Eastern Farm Workers Association helping make tamales to sell during superbowl week, at the school such as Tillie’s Touch collecting sports equipment and giving it to children in need, or making sandwiches for the homeless, by far the one that has had the most impact on me has been the Samaritan Center. Volunteering at the Samaritan Center, although the process being rigorous trying to volunteer there is worth it due to having an amazing and eye opening experience. Facing the problem head on opens your eyes to reality and truly makes you

Our group, which consisted of Ricardo Carrillo, Emilee Cocuzzo, Sidd Dogra, Wurood Mandawi, and Trung Ngo, worked collectively on putting on a successful bingo and bake sale night for the YMCA. We ended up raising $ to help with the teenagers of the YMCA to go on their annual college trip during the summer.

“It’s a quotation from Confucius, the ancient Chinese philosopher. Ms. Conley posted it on the bulletin board outside her classroom and said it has something to do with the Middle School Service Club.” “Aiden,” said Tim, “who wants to be part of that club? All they do is work. I don’t see what’s fun about cleaning up trash and serving meals at a homeless shelter. Why don’t you join the debate team with us? We’ll talk about the issues that matter. That’s how things really get done.”

In the beginning of my sophomore year I decided to sign up for Key Club because I thought it would look great on my college applications. However, I soon realized that Key Club isn’t just an organization to help the community but also to make a difference in someone else’s life. Key Club gives the opportunity to connect with others on a meaningful and personal level. Furthermore, being involved in Key Club has been a life changing experience because it reshaped my perspective on how to make a difference in the world.

These past four years of Key Club have taught me many things. I’ve gained an appreciation for service and understood its impacts, as well as gained responsibility and leadership skills as President. Key Club is one of two clubs I’ve stuck around throughout my entire high school experience. The reason being that it has allowed me to improve myself while helping others improve themselves

Hi Key Clubbers! I’m Bonnie, I enjoy reddit stories, aesthetics, organizing and music that are rubbish. I joined Key Club, because it was similar to the organization that I used to volunteer at, but Clackamas Key Club was more than just volunteering. It allowed me to gain experiences that I would like all the members to

Key club has positively impacted the social, moral, and academic aspects of my life. I’ve encountered new friends, received countless smiles, and gained priceless experiences from attending events. This club has genuinely changed my high school experience for the better. I cannot simply describe in words how thankful I am for this club and for the officers who keep it running. As a proud key clubber of one and a half years, I’ve developed an ambition to lead Key Club by using my past experiences and the voices of my peers. I desire to become a Key Club officer who genuinely hopes to improve Key Club and strive to make a place where everyone can have fun while feeling like they belong.

As an officer in Key Club, I was given a marvelous opportunity to volunteer in an area I have never considered before. I was searching online when I discovered New Hope was hosting a party for kids that have incarcerated parents. I contacted them through email luckily they have emailed me back and they were happy to have me, volunteer. I usually help out on the craft table or in the kitchen serving the people. There are so many words I cannot help to describe how much I love volunteering, I love helping the kids who have an unfortunate life since they have incarcerated parents, and it makes me feel welcomed that the kids are allowing us the volunteers help them in their way of life to not end up like their parents.

I have chosen to participate in National Honor Society and Key Club because they are both service clubs that allow me to contribute and give back to my community. In both clubs, much of what we do is volunteering and assisting around the community. I chose to participate in Student Government because of the many opportunities I would have to demonstrate leadership and be involved in my local community. Another leadership activity that I participated in was LINK, a service club dedicated to welcoming and guiding incoming Freshman to high school. I joined this club because this was a unique experience to practice leading groups, talking to large groups, and the club seemed fun and interesting. I also enjoy dancing and playing tennis, which lead me to join the tennis team and the dance company at Smoky Hill High School. As a member of dance company, I had the opportunity to choreograph a dance, audition dancers, and teach my choreography for a dance showcase. I joined this activity because of my passion for dance and the opportunity to teach my choreography to other dancers. I chose to join the tennis team because it was a fun way for me to be active and make new friends. Next Generation Voices is a culture club that expresses Asian cultures through dance. Every year, we prepare a presentation

The community that I live in is heavily centered around participation in sports, yet many children cannot afford the equipment they need to play the games they love. In attempt to create opportunities for more children to get involved, two classmates and I created a community service project called “Get in the Game”. The idea to create the project stemmed from my experience in sports, and the lessons I learned in team work, friendship, responsibility and leadership. Our goal in creating the project was to provide children with the possibility of future success through playing sports alongside their friends despite economic hardships. The project was made possible by the generous donations of new and used sports equipment by fellow community

In Maryland, 75 hours of community service are required for students to graduate. Getting in the way of many after school activities, students should not be required to have community service hours to get a diploma.
