Greater South Cobb Kiwanis Announce Launch of New Key Club

MABLETON, Ga. - Nov. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Mableton, GA. — Nov. 19, 2014 — The Kiwanis of Greater South Cobb is pleased to announce the installation of a new Key Club at Pebblebrook High School.

Key Club International (http://www.keyclub.org) is a high school organization, sponsored by Kiwanis International, that assists Kiwanis in carrying out its mission to serve the children of the world.

The Kiwanis of Greater South Cobb helped create a Key Club chapter at Pebblebrook High School (http://www.cobbk12.org/pebblebrook/aboutus.aspx) to allow local students the opportunity to perform acts of service in the community while learning leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and holding elected leadership positions at the club.

Key Club International is a self-governing, student-led organization. Each year, Key Club members elect their student officers at club, district and international levels during club meetings and district and international conventions. The club has 33 organized districts. Each district, normally defined by state or nation, tends to match a similar Kiwanis district and is led by a governor, who is elected by delegates at the annual district convention. The organization is funded by nominal dues paid by every member.

Pebblebrook High School’s Key Club members will receive guidance and support from adult volunteers, including Kiwanis of Greater South Cobb advisors, faculty advisors and district administrators.

“This club will serve to provide our youth with the leadership skills they need to be successful and engaged citizens within our society,” said Delphine Lagroon, member of the Kiwanis of Greater South Cobb. “We’re thrilled to be able to help launch this important student organization at Pebblebrook High School.”

Pebblebrook High Schools’s mission is to model and develop physical, intellectual, moral and social behaviors that can lead to success for all. Their vision is that through the educational process, Pebblebrook students will become productive citizens in a global community.
