Organization:

Key Club is an international service organization and is just the high-school level branch under Kiwanis International. All the branches include:

K-Kids - Essentially elementary school Key Club.

Builders Club - Essentially middle school Key Club.

★ Key Club International - For high-schoolers! It was founded on May 7, 1925, at Sacramento High School.

Kiwins - Kiwins is a district within Key Club that operates in the same geographical region as CNH Key Club. It was originally founded as the equivalent of Key Club which would accept women as members. Essentially Key Club.

Circle K International (CKI) - Essentially college-level Key Club.

Aktion Club - The only service club where adults living with disabilities can learn leadership skills by participating in a variety of service projects.

★ Kiwanis International - The one ring to rule them all―the adult version of Key Club, which oversees much of the operations of all the previously listed organizations.

The structure for this pyramid is upside down, representing how the club level is the most powerful and important part of the organization. The Divisions, Regions, and Districts typically have mascots.

Club Level: Individual high-school clubs! (ex: Bonita)

Division Level: Made up of individual clubs. (ex: Division 35 East D35E Elephants, made up of 13 schools)

Region Level: Made up of several Divisions. This level is often not recognized because there are no board positions, and operations are usually just conducted by Division LTGs. (ex: Region 13 Lionfish, made up of divisions in the SoCal area.)

District Level: Made up of many Divisions/Regions. (ex: Cal-Nev-Ha CNH district, including all of the 80 divisions in California, Nevada, and Hawaii. Mascot are bees.)

International Level: Made up of Districts across the country and globe.

Kiwanis Level: They support us at every level!
