What is Key Club?
There are many clubs that meet at Rocky. One of the biggest and oldest ones is Key Club. Though many students are involved in this club, there are many more who don’t know anything about it.
Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. It was founded in 1925. This club provides volunteer opportunities for students who wish to get involved in their community.
“Key Club is a service club where we want to encourage leadership through the service we do! The purpose is to better our community,” club president Kaitlyn Bhalla said.
This club makes it very easy for students to access volunteer opportunities. Any type of volunteering will be counted towards total hours, even summer volunteering. Students can sign up for more opportunities in the Key Club Google classroom, the code will be given at the first meeting.
There are many perks to being in Key Club, other than volunteering, such as meeting new people, doing something for the Rocky community, and even lettering, but only if the requirements are met.
The requirements for being in the club, and lettering are as listed below:
- Attend at least 10 meetings
