Utah Idaho District held it’s first KEY-LEADER weekend May 16 – 18 at Trinity Pines Camp in Cascade Idaho. Derek Schenck, District Key-Leader Administrator worked for two years to bring the Key-Leader camp experience to youth in the Utah Idaho Kiwanis District. Ten adult leaders joined with lead facilitator, Amy White from Hawaii, and Dick Peterson From Kiwanis International to bring the Key-Leader experience to the 56 youth campers. Was it a success? This is what some of

Key-Leader is Kiwanis International’s new leadership education program for
Students age fifteen to eighteen. Its mission is to provide a “life-changing
experience that inspires young people to achieve their personal best through
service leadership. ”Service Leadership is the foundational concept of leading
by example and empowering others to achieve their full potential- is the
cornerstone of the Key-Leader Program. The weekend program consists of
experiential learning, which focuses on building the participants’ personal
integrity, growth, respect, community building, and pursuit of
excellence.
Key-Leader is designed to begin a process of personal
leadership growth and development as opposed to being a weekend event that is
forgotten weeks or months later. It will be a life-changing
experience.

leadership.
