Only with the ongoing help of the sponsoring Kiwanis club can a club survive. Maintaining and supporting an existing Key Club is an often overlooked but extremely important task. Key Club is structured to give high school students the opportunity to learn responsibility through a dynamic process of trail and error. However, all too often, after a Key Club is built the close ties between the local Kiwanis club and the local Key Club falter. Because Key Club leaders are learning as they go along, strong Kiwanis support is a must.
Guidance is appreciated when offered in a non-threatening thoughtful manner.
A Kiwanis club and its service potential is increased through close interaction with the members of your Key Club. Only through a Kiwanis club's support can the members of the Key Club gain from the knowledge and guidance of Kiwanians. Only through a Kiwanis club's continued support of the Key Club in the community can the Kiwanis club reap the rewards of sponsorship. Through strong support, a Key Club is sure not to falter and will grow and prosper, thus offering more high school students this great opportunity. The relationships between the Kiwanis club and the Key Club are called K-Family Relations.
