Circle K International (CKI) is the world's largest student-led collegiate service organization that is part of the larger Kiwanis International family. Its mission is to develop college and university students into responsible citizens and leaders with a lifelong commitment to serving the community. Our motto is "live to serve, love to serve" and is based on the 3 tenets of service, leadership, and fellowship. Our UPenn chapter is dedicated to serving the local Philadelphia area with service events that support organizations such as Relay for Life, Books Through Bars, Walnut Street West Library, and much more. We also offer various leadership opportunities through our executive and extended boards. Hosting a variety of club socials and study breaks, UPenn CKI is a tight-knit community always looking for new members!
As a member of Circle K, not only do you have access to opportunities to help and serve your community, you have the chance to meet students dedicated to giving back across multiple schools in Philadelphia and across the world as you interact with the different tiers from club to international committee. Being part of CKI grants you access to exclusive discounts, awards, and scholarships!
CKI clubs receive support from Kiwanis advisors, faculty advisors, and district administrators. Additionally, the Circle K International staff trains and assists district governors and international board members. There are opportunities for leadership and service at every level of the organization.
