What is Circle K?
Circle K is an international co-ed service organization that is sponsored by Kiwanis International. Circle K clubs focus on the three tenets of service, fellowship, and leadership.
Service:
Service is the heart of Circle K. There are a variety of service projects each week varying in date, time, length, and focus. We do projects ranging from the elderly and children to the environment and the homeless. If you don't find a project that interests you or if you have a new project idea, please contact our vice presidents at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Circle K understands that college life can be very busy, therefore we don't have a service hour requirement for our membership.
Fellowship:
We know that when you come to the University of Michigan, it can be overwhelming. Circle K works to actively build lasting friendships and to create a sense of community. Through our weekly socials, meetings, service projects and committee events, we strive to make fellowship an integral part of this club. From the nearly 200 members in our club, you are sure to develop some great friendships.
Leadership:
We want to develop the leadership skills of each of our members. We provide many opportunites for you to discover your talents and have a chance to put them to use. Circle K members can serve on or become chairs of one of our 13 different committees . Circle K also holds a leadership conference each year called LeadCon to develop your leadership skills, inform you about club positions, and allow you to meet other club leaders.
Club Goals and Values:
- Complete at least 14,000 hours of service. Update the club on goals using a monthly thermometer.
- Have 250 dues-paid members with 75% of these members attending three or more events and 90% of members attending at least one service project.
- Better utilize social media
- Increase meaningful service through monthly analysis of project feedback and external feedback once per semester.
