Key Club Community Analysis

After being a part of Key Club throughout my high school years, I learned how to give back to the community that has raised me and the conspicuous impact I can have in someone’s life simply through volunteering. Through Key Club, I help create service projects with local organizations and give members of our club an opportunity to volunteer and give back. One experience I will never forget is helping set up a blood drive in school with one of our local organizations, Bloodworks Northwest, a local blood bank that helps saves lives through research, innovation and education in blood. Our Key Club had to inform the school of the event that was happening, and encourage students to donate blood. It required hours of creating posters, informing the
students of the blood drive, and signing them up. Our hard work and effort got over 50 people to sign up to donate blood, which ultimately led to over 75 lives being saved. It gave me the satisfaction of knowing that our hard work resulted with a blissful impact on somebody’s life.
Through events like this, Key Club has allowed me to show initiative to better my community, and as one of the leaders, motivate members to do the same. This message personally resonates with me because I believe that one simple action can make a difference in the community.
