Major Emphasis Program

    What is the Major Emphasis Program (MEP)?

At Key Club International's first convention in 1946, the
organization was given the responsibility of instituting a program that would bring together all Key Club's direct members' efforts and energies into an area that would truly make an International impact. This tradition is still followed today through the development of the Theme and Major Emphasis Program .

High Five for Health Service Initiativeis K-Club International's Major Emphasis Program. It unites Key Clubs under the banner of service that deals with the most important part of our community, our youth. Focusing on the personal development and social interaction of children, Key Club members can help them learn through mentoring, making friends, and working together. As children are taught to work with others, Key Club members open the doors to their future.

Service Initiative

Realizing the need and interest in supporting the MEP through hands on service, a new service initiative will be created on a two-year basis. All of the hands on service provided to children by Key Club International members can be directed to a single area of need to make a substantial impact. This service initiative directs and focuses the attention of Key Club members to serve children in a specific hands-on approach.

Key Club members currently will focus their time and talents on High Five For Health, specifically educating children about nutrition, wellness, and play. This program not only creates endless possibilities to strengthen the common goal of service, but also allows each Key Club member to develop into a well-rounded individual community leader and lifelong advocate for children’s health.
