What is Key Club?
For those who do not have any idea as to what Key Club is, we do NOT make keys. The Key in Key Club stands for Kiwanis Educates Youth. In fact, Key Club is an international student-led organization. Key Club provides its members with opportunities to provide service, to build character and to develop leadership. The goal of Key Club is to develop capable, caring and competent leaders through service opportunities. The Brooklyn Tech Key Club has reached a staggering amount of members, at over 130 members in the past year. Our club continues to help members to develop several important core values that can carry them throughout the rest of their lives -- leadership, character building, caring and inclusiveness. Caring is our way of life.
The Brooklyn Technical High School Key Club is proud to have won the Outstanding Club Award out of all the clubs in the state of New York.
In the past, many people have agreed that children do not only hold the key to success but the key to the future. As Key Clubbers, we couldn't agree more. Although we are only high school students, the members of Key Club are already building their future. By serving our school, our home and most importantly, our community, Key Club members have impacted the near future in the most positive ways. Our club has helped and will continue to shape future leaders by upholding the Objects of Key Club International.
