The History of Key Club

The first Key Club was sponsored in May 1925 at Sacramento High School in California by the Sacramento Kiwanis Club. The concept of Key Club at this time was to develop a vocational guidance program aimed to combat the problems of student fraternities. From this eventually evolved a service organization for the local community.

Later on in 1943, the Key Club National Organization was started. And in 1946 the first Key Club in Canada was formed. This establish Key Club internationally. Due to its strong foundation and growing support, Key Club International set up a Constitution and Bylaws in the same year!
