The Mission Statement of the Key Club is as follows: "Key Club is an international student-led organization which provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership."

The vision of the Key Club, which is a high school level Kiwanis-affiliated club, is to develop competent, capable, and caring leaders through the vehicle of service. Key Club is a great way for developing youth to be introduced into community service. The Key Club pledge includes pledging one's self to to uphold the Objects of Key Club International, to build one's home, school and community, and to serve one's nation and God, as well as combatting all forces which tend to undermine these institutions.

Key Club members are encouraged to develop leadership and initiative, to serve others, and to cooperate with authority figures (the Key Club "Objects" specifically address cooperating with the School Principal, for instance). Members are also encouraged to live the Golden Rule on a daily basis and display and foster the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.

Circle K is a co-educational service, leadership development, and friendship organization, organized and sponsored by a Kiwanis club on a college or university campus. It is a self-governing organization and elects its own officers, conducts its own meetings, determines its own service activities, and establishes its own dues structure. Its Objects include the Objects of Kiwanis. Once organized, a Circle K club continues to be sponsored by a Kiwanis club. Although the ultimate responsibility for Circle is that of the Kiwanis Board of Directors, the sponsorship function is most directly carried out by the Kiwanis club Committee on Circle K Clubs, assisted by a faculty advisor (who may or may not be a Kiwanian) designated by the college or university administration.

District and International Conventions are held each year. At the International Convention, International officers are elected, the Constitution and Bylaws are amended, and Circle K members participate in a service project.
