What is Circle K International?
Circle K International (CKI) is the world's largest collegiate organization dedicated to service and leadership development with more than 500 clubs in over 15 different nations. It is not the size of the organization, however, which gives CKI its identity or provides it with its primary source of pride and satisfaction. Rather, it's the mission and the objects of the organization that set CKI apart from other student organizations.
CKI is a service organization through which college students can find a means of responsible student action in their communities and a more active involvement in the life of their campuses. As clubs learn about the needs of their campuses and communities, they develop hands-on activities to address these problems.
College is more than a pursuit for a scholastic degree -- it offers unique opportunities, a chance to get to know others and create long-lasting friendships, an opportunity for personal development, and opens the door for students to make a lasting impact and meaningful contributions to the world. CKI provides a unique opportunity to make a difference now -- it is the total college experience.
