Circle K is a coeducational service, leadership development, and
friendship organization, organized and sponsored by a Kiwanis club on a college or
university campus. It is a self-governing organization and elects its
own officers, conducts its own meetings, determines its own service
activities, and establishes its own dues structure. Its Objects include the Objects of Kiwanis.
Once organized, a Circle K Club continues to be sponsored by a Kiwanis club. Although the
ultimate responsibility for Circle K is that of the Kiwanis Board of Directors,
the sponsorship function is most directly carried out by the Kiwanis
Club Committee on Circle K Clubs, assisted by a faculty advisor (who
may or may not be a Kiwanian) designated by the college or university
administration.
District and International Conventions are held
each year. At the International Convention, International officers are
elected, the Constitution and Bylaws are amended, and Circle K members
participate in a service project.
