Key Clubs are designed to teach high school kids about the value of community service and to focus them on the positives surrounding them. Key Clubs get kids involved with many community service activities. Many Key Clubbers go on to leadership positions in the Key Club organization and assume leadership positions in other organizations and communities later in life.

Annually, North Star Kiwanis donates over $600 for Bowie Key Club members to attend conventions.

Key Club has surpassed 200,000 members in more than 4,500 high schools. Kiwanis and its sponsored youth organizations promote the ideals of voluntary service as a means to improve lives and give something back to the community.

The Kiwanis family of service includes adult Kiwanis clubs, Circle K International (CKI) clubs for collegians, Key Clubs for high school students, Builders Clubs for junior high and middle school students, and K-Kids for elementary school students.
