Circle K Logo
Circle K clubs are "organizations of college and university students who are responsible citizens and leaders with a lifelong commitment to community service."
According to an article by Circle K International (CKI), "Circle K International is the world's largest collegiate organization dedicated to service and leadership development. Current membership is 12,288 college students on 507 campuses in 15 nations. It is not the size of the organization, however, which gives it 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 Circle K apart from other student organizations.
"Circle K 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 campus. 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 good times, getting to know others, personal development, and meaningful contributions to the world. Circle K provides a unique opportunity to make a difference now -- Circle K is the total college experience."
