Key Clubs
Key Club is an international, student-led organization that provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership. Key Club's core values are leadership, character building, caring and inclusiveness. High school student members of Key Club perform acts of service in their communities, such as cleaning up parks, collecting clothing and organizing food drives. They also learn leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and holding elected leadership positions at the club, district and international levels. The Warren Kiwanis Club is proud to support four area High School Key Clubs in Trumbull County: Warren G. Harding, Mathews, Lordstown and Niles McKinley.
