The Kansas Association for Youth is a character-building, leadership-training, service organization directed by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. The local organization is under the direction of the high school principal, who, in turn appoints a sponsor(s) to lead and to guide the club program. KAY is a nationally acclaimed organization which provides students an opportunity to learn to assume their citizenship responsibilities and to enrich their personalities through well-organized programs, projects and parties. Programs educate, inspire and direct members into carefully planned service projects. These projects emphasize four areas of service—school, community, nation and world. Recreation can also be incorporated into service projects. Club parties are a means to celebrate accomplishments, as well as afford opportunities for recruitment and enjoyment. School administrators use many phases of the club program for group-guidance activities. For more information: http://www.kshsaa.org/public/kay/main.cfm
