UCF CKI

What is CKI? CKI stands for Circle K International. If you had a Key Club in your high school, you already know what CKI is. Circle K is the college form of Key Club and Kiwanis. CKI is the world's LARGEST collegiate service club. It is at over 550 colleges in nine countries, with more than 12, 000 members. The focus of Circle K is three things: Service, Leadership, and Fellowship.

Service Circle K members are a group of college students hooked on doing service. Once you feel how great it is to know you made a difference in someone's life, you'll be hooked too! We offer ongoing and one-time special event projects. § § § § Ronald Mc.

Leadership There are plenty of opportunities to lead in Circle K is not only at UCF, but also at over 20 colleges in Florida and over 550 colleges throughout the world. Circle K finds the leader in every member! You can run for club, District (state), or International offices. Within our club we need committee chairs, project chairs, and dorm representatives. We also attend leadership development workshops and conventions throughout the year.

Conferences and Conventions

Fellowship We know that we can't always work hard at service, so we plan fun activities together. We have occasional socials out to dinner, to a comedy club, etc. We also take lots of road trips! Through CKI, you will be able to make friends at schools all around the state, and even around the world.
