Major Emphasis Projects - MEPs
Key Club International partners with three organizations each year to help serve the children of the world. Key Clubbers around the globe fund raise to help Unicef, March of Dimes, and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. We encourage clubs and divisions to hold service projects or fundraisers that benefit these organizations. Below is some information about what each organization does and how you, your club, and your division can help them.
Erika's Lighthouse
Our mission is to make sure no young person feels alone in their depression. We are dedicated to creating a community of empathy and education. We create upper elementary, middle school and high school teen depression awareness programs so educators and teens can create safe spaces to learn about depression, letting students know they are never alone, and there is somewhere to turn.
