Busy schedules shouldn’t hold students back from becoming the leaders they are meant to be. That’s why the Key Leader program offers two paths, with one-day and weekend leadership training options for graduating 8th grade and high school students.
Students are not required to be members of a Kiwanis International Service Leadership Program to participate in the Key Leader program.
Whether your district already hosts a Key Leader event or is interested in adding one to your annual calendar, there are many ways to get involved!
