Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does Key Club do?
A: Our Key Club members serve our community in many ways. We volunteer at local community events and organizations, such as Miracle League, Brown Bag Ministry, and Simple Gifts Garden. We also donate items throughout the year, such as canned food in the fall, warm coats, blankets, and toys in the winter, and other items our community needs. Lastly, we make new friends by volunteering with our peers and planning fun outings with other Key Clubs in our area.

Service opportunities are scheduled throughout the week, as well as the weekend. Be sure to check our events calendar and Google Classroom.
Q: Can seniors join Key Club?

Q: What if I served less than 50 hours of service last year?
A: AFHS Key Club receives hundreds of applications every year and it is important that members are dedicated to volunteering within the community and work hard to meet requirements. Members are provided ample volunteering opportunities, so there is no excuse for not meeting membership expectations. Any returning member with less than exactly 50 hours will not be accepted.
