2. Key Club Pledge
“ I pledge, on my honor, to uphold the Objects of Key Club International; to build my home school and community; to serve my nation and God; and combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions.”

3. Requirements 40 hours of service per year (10 hours per quarter)
Participation in Key Club sponsored
Activities & inspire others to serve
Please let us know if you have ANY ideas for club sponsored activities. We want you to be active members in the club and we are always open to suggestions, just ask!
If you are short on hours, don’t hesitate to come see Mrs. P or any of the officers! We’re here to help!

4. Expectations
You should be in Key Club for more than just “hours” or “ just to put it on your application”
Key Club members should enjoy finding new opportunities and giving back to the community
Don’t “stop” at 40 hours
We need members who are going to invite others to help us give back and serve the community
We are a team that represents Riverside AND Key Club International
Speak up, follow through, take initiative, and be responsible for communicating
Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

5. Our Key Club Goal
We hope to make our club an “outlet” that people can go to for volunteer opportunities
We know there are a lot of clubs with community service requirements and we would like to work together rather than against one another

10. Useful Information
At this time of the year, the amount of opportunities within the community tend to be harder to find
Service is not limited to outside the school, you can do service within the school too! Examples: help a teacher during your study hall, in the mornings, on a teacher work day, etc.
You can also do service within your own home/neighborhood! Examples: helping out a neighbor, donating your time to help others, reading to children at the library, etc.
Remember: If you are passionate about something, don’t hesitate to talk to any of the officers or Mrs. P about finding short/long term opportunities. Examples: interning at a clinic, special Olympics coach, etc.
If Advisories begin to ask for or assign leaders you can earn hours this way as well
Imagine with this cold weather how many people in the community may be struggling to have warm clothes, food, etc. making a difference can come in the smallest packages.
