Circle K International is the largest collegiate community service, leadership development, and friendship organization in the world. Circle K clubs are organized and sponsored by a Kiwanis club on a college or university campus. It is a self-governing organization and elects its own officers, conducts its own meetings, and determines its own service activities. They are unrelated to the other international Circle K organization in Davis.

Circle K is an international community service organization with over 12,000 members worldwide in over 7 countries. Circle K blends community service and leadership training with the opportunity to meet many other college students at service projects, conferences, and conventions.

Each club works closely with their school and local community in planning and implementing projects that best serve the needs of that particular area. Clubs within the same basic geographic area (divisions), also work together on larger projects. On the district level, clubs within the boundaries of California, Nevada, and Hawaii also work to achieve common goals and service initiatives, and come together at conferences, conventions, and large scale projects (see "events" page). This gives members the opportunity to work closely with and get to know many different people, not just those at their own school.

Circle K International is the collegiate branch of Kiwanis International. UC Davis CKI is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Greater Davis and is affiliated with Key Club at the high school level.

UC Davis Circle K was chartered in 1974, one of the oldest Circle K clubs in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District. Currently, there are 88 paid members in the club. Club members are involved with all types of service, including working with children, the elderly, and homeless. The club also works with other organizations on campus and in the community, including SHARE with New Orleans, Woodland YMCA, Yolo County Food Bank, Davis Community Meals, Shriners Hospital, and more.

New members are welcome to join any time during the year! We do service year-round, because service never sleeps! If you're around in the summer and want to be a part of our club, come to one of our meetings to find out more about upcoming summer events.

UC Davis Circle K is open to working with anyone, so if YOU need volunteers at an event or want to work with us, please come out to one of our meetings or contact us!

2008-12-16 02:44:47 Circle K International is by far the best time a student can spend improving themselves and their community at the same time. Not only do you get to do cool stuff like help pets get adopted but you also make some amazing friends to take with you once you leave college. Highly recommended. —GregWebb
