Key Leader:
Unlocking the Future for Youth Leaders

"I was very impressed with the leadership activities. . . .It was nice getting to converse with everyone on what they think leadership is and learning about how to promote good leadership within the club. I will really make sure to promote servant leadership in my club this coming year."

Kiwanis International announces Key Leader—a new leadership experience for today's youth leaders. It will focus on service leadership as the first, most meaningful leadership development experience. A Key Leader will learn the most important lesson of leadership—leadership comes from helping others succeed.

Recently, a task force of professionals with more than 175 years of experience in teaching, coaching, developing, and encouraging young leaders was asked to invent something extraordinary. The result is an exciting program designed to move beyond where most other youth leadership programs stopped. The result is Key Leader.

• Key Leader is designed for multiple students from the same school-those who are already student leaders and those with leadership potential.
• Key Leader is designed to begin a process of personal leadership growth and development as opposed to being a weekend event that is forgotten weeks or months later. It will be a life-changing experience.
• Key Leader is designed to open doors to leaders as young as recent eighth grade graduates. Leadership development shouldn't wait.
• Key Leader is designed to teach what it means to be a youth leader in three different communities: the local community; the state or national community; and the global community.
