Economically Disadvantaged Children: Building a Force for Change

Circle K clubs should provide service through established networks that work with economically disadvantaged children.

So you're still not sure if you want to join Circle K?  Maybe you don't think you know enough details about our club yet.  Follow the links to answer some of your unasked questions.

 

The four best reasons to join Circle K are:

Service Opportunities: Circle K is about helping others through volunteer work. From assisting children to seniors, you can find Circle K'ers at soup kitchens, sanctuaries, seniors' homes, and festivals. If you like volunteering, this is the club for you.

 

Leadership Opportunities: Circle K is entirely student-run. The opportunity is available to gain valuable leadership skills by organizing events or taking an officer position. Developing your public speaking, initiative and social skills are a definite plus.

 

Social Activities: Our club lets you meet a bunch of students just like you, with the same interests and concerns. We hold potlucks, parties, and other social events, PLUS you get the chance to go to conferences outside of Victoria with other US clubs.

 

Scholarships: As a leader, you are recognized by the local Kiwanis and the CKI organization.  Dedicating to "service above self" allows you to apply for scholarships available through the club and district.
