Sponsored Youth Programs

As Kiwanis membership has grown and enthusiasm for its service-based format has spread, Kiwanis has created additional volunteer opportunities for people at every stage of life through its sponsored programs. The Norway-Paris Kiwanis is proud to sponsor the following organizations.

 

Key Club
at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School
The oldest Kiwanis sponsored-youth program is Key Club. Seventeen boys in Sacramento, California, made up the first Key Club in 1925, and today the organization is active in 20 nations and includes 4,711 clubs and 234,528 members. More than 2 million youth have enlisted in Key Club since its inception, including many who are now top government and business leaders. Click here to goto Key Club International Web Site

Although Key Club is sponsored by the Kiwanis organization, the group is self-governing. The group elects its own officers, determines its own service activities, and establishes its own structure. The vision of Key Club International is to develop competent, capable and caring leaders through the vehicle of service. We traditionally support the following service projects: UNICEF, Christmas for Teens, American Red Cross, Community Thanksgiving Baskets, Iodine Deficiency Disorder, Camp Sunshine, and Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute.

Key Club meets every Tuesday that school is session.  Meeting time is 2:15-3 p.m.  The Key Club advisor is Joe Cummings.

 

Builders Club of Oxford Hills Middle School
When middle school and junior high students began to show an interest in organizing to serve their schools and communities, the Builders Club program was launched in 1975. With support from Kiwanis clubs, Key Clubs, and Circle K clubs, the Builders Club network has grown to include more than 1,500 clubs and 44,000 members in 13 nations.Click here to goto Builder Club Web Site
