Kiwanis Key Leader Weekend
(Youth Leadership Development)

Key Leader is an experiential leadership program for high school students. The curriculum focuses on six principles: leadership, integrity, personal growth, respect, community and pursuit of excellence. The experience includes full group sessions led by a trained facilitator, and small discussion groups called “neighborhoods”.

Our club sponsors two students annually to attend the event.

“I learned more about my own values and their importance, and how to use service leadership to lift others up and fill them with hope. I truly can’t thank you enough for sponsoring me on this outstanding opportunity. I hope you understand just how much of an impact your contribution has had.” – Brooklyn A.

“The best part of the weekend was meeting like-minded, ambitious, and kind people. I’m looking forward to getting back to school and applying the skills I learned this past weekend to better not just the robotics team, but our community in Elmira.”  – Anna S.
