Key Club is one of the most popular clubs at Jonathan Law.

The community-service-based club has many goals for the 2025-2026 school year.

“Key Club is an international high school community service program,” Senior District Bulletin Editor for New England Harshitha Kothapalli said. “There are many different levels to Key Club, such as Divisional, District, and International.”

Kothapalli said the club is aiming to increase membership and to continue to serve the community as the year progresses.

“One of my personal goals is to publish five editions of the district publication, The YanKey,” Kothapalli said. “As a club as a whole, our goals are to increase our membership, raise money for different charities like Camp Sunshine, and incorporate service projects into our club meetings.”

Key Club is open to anyone who attends Jonathan Law High School.

“Our first meeting is Wednesday, September 10, in the TLC at 7 p.m.,” Senior President Kayla Markowitz said. “Everyone is welcome to join us.”

Key Club is hosting many fun and exciting events during this school year.

“I’m most excited for the annual Kickball Tournament that all students can participate in,” Senior Treasurer David Guery said. “That is always fun to watch and host.”

Members said that Key Club has endless benefits.

“Currently, I am a member of Key Club, filling in many of the open positions and volunteering opportunities,” sophomore Yusuf Genc said. “The hours you get from this volunteer work are really beneficial for graduation, it stacks up every year, and also helping the community and boosting the future is a win for me.”

Key Club also has new events that they are hosting this year. 

“We would also love to plan more service projects like Trick or Treat for UNICEF,” Markowitz said. “We are hoping to start a new event this year, which would be a Walk-a-Thon for Camp sunshine.”

DECON is one of the main events that the club attends at the end of the year.

“DECON is a conference where we congregate with all the other key clubs in the New England Bermudan district,” Guery said. “They teach you leadership, and you are also awarded for your club’s accomplishments from the past year.”

The main goal of Key Club is to build community – at Law and beyond.

“First of all, the people you can meet are just amazing, it’s a fun space where you can meet new people,” Genc said. “The warm community key club offers is just unbelievable, and you never know whose story you will see next.”
