A Chance to Change
the World!
 | Volunteer Opportunities - Members have the chance to volunteer with many different community
organizations at their leisure rather than being obligated to volunteer
regularly for one. This is what makes our club unique. We don't
force you to volunteer. We inform you of the projects that we have,
and you can volunteer for whichever you like. |
| Personal Development - Volunteering, training, and meeting people all develop who you are.
There's no better feeling than knowing that you've made a difference in
someone's life. |
| Practical Experience - Work experience is gained through participation in volunteer projects and
seminars. |
| Leadership Training - Leadership skills can be obtained through seminars, conventions, and
participation in club management. Becoming an executive board member
or joining a committee could help you obtain these skills necessary for
life. |
| Lifetime Friendships - Some
of the best friends that you'll ever have come from Circle K. |
| Socials, Parties, Food, Fun
- We have parties, camping trips, potluck dinners,
go bowling, play pool, skating... |
| Travel - We have many weekend activities available to our members, most at a very
low cost (sometimes free). |
| Scholarships - We
have four district and International scholarships and one local scholarship
up for grabs every year. |
| Career Networking - Having
a partnership with Kiwanis International provides us with professional
contacts and support. |
| Community Development - Opportunity to give back to your community through service. |
| Right to run and hold office
- as Circle K
Executive Officer, Committee Chair, as well as District and International
positions following a year of active membership. |
| Awards - Opportunity to win member of the month, achievement awards and other
contests. |
| The National Dean's List - All
Circle K International members are eligible to be nominated for inclusion in
the upcoming directory. |
