History: Key Club is the oldest and largest service    program for high school students. Key Club's success is attributed to the fact that it is a student-led organization that teaches leadership through serving others. Hammond Key Club is part of the Kiwanis International family, a multi-national charitable organization founded in 1925 in Sacramento, CA. 

Criteria for membership: Members must possess a willingness to help others locally and internationally.  Students learn to build leadership skills while helping others and their community through service. Service can be volunteering for charity events, fundraising for a national or international cause.
