Senior farewell

Key club has allowed me to open myself up to a new environment that I had never been in before. I had always been interested in helping out the community; however it was difficult to find some way or some group to help me achieve this dream of mine. Key club not only fulfilled my desires of helping my town and community, but also helped create strong bonds and friendships will all the other amazing people in the club. I know that some of these people will be my closest friends for many years to come.

The Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) is an endowed fund for Key Club International held within the Kiwanis International Foundation. This fund uses earned interest to help Key Clubs and Key Club members serve the world by providing grants for service opportunities. The fund also provides academic scholarships for higher education. The Youth Opportunities Fund is established through a portion of your Key Club International dues and through the purchase of G. Harold Martin Fellowships. YOF grants can help you take action. Look around and identify the things that need to get done in your school, community or world.

How to Apply

YOF grants are given only to Key Clubs and/or club members. There is only one funding cycle for the Youth Opportunities Fund. The application must be received by October 15 each year. Clubs may request funding assistance from $100 to $2,000. The committee typically funds those clubs who are asking for a portion of the total cost of the project, and clubs who are working with other organizations to fund and complete the project.
