  1. Capital District of Circle K International New Member Tutorial Service

  2. Service Service is one of the three main tenets of Circle K International. Circle K’ers perform service in various ways such as assisting the elderly, mentoring children, cleaning the environment, helping fellow students, and so much more! Service is one of the main things that makes Circle K International different from all the other colligate organizations.

  3. International Service Initiative The International Service Initiative (SI) of Circle K International is “Focusing on the Future CHILDREN.” Every year the International Board selects a focus area of the SI. This focus area helps clubs to hone in on a particular aspect of the SI. The focus area for 2003-2004 is “Life Skills Training: Supplying the skills for life.” There are many projects that you and your club could do to support the SI and the focus area. You could organize a crime prevention program for children, teach children about healthy living, have a child safety workshop, or facilitate a conflict resolution workshop.

  4. Capital District Service Project Every year, the Capital District Board selects a District Project. As a district, we work together on this project throughout the year. Sometime there are district wide events to support the project, many times individual clubs plan events related to the project. The District Project for 2003-2004 is Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Centers. There are many ways that you and your club can support this project. You could make trauma dolls, participate in the pop top can program, visit the centers, or raise money for the program. There are seven centers in the Capital District: Charlottesville, Roanoke, John Hopkin’s, Norfolk, Richmond, D.C., and Wilmington.

  5. Capital District Governor’s Project Each year, the Capital District Governor chooses a project for the District to focus on in tandem with the District Service project. The Governor’s Project for 2003-2004 is “Serving to Grow, Growing to Serve”. This has two main focuses. One is co-sponsoring K-Kids clubs and Builders clubs. The projects that these children do not only benefit their schools and communities, but they benefit the children as well. The second focus is building new Circle K clubs. New clubs mean more members and more members means more service!

  6. Service in your home club Every club is different and therefore every club will have different ways of doing service. There are an endless number of different projects that your club can do. Examples include assisting the elderly, mentoring children and youth, cleaning the environment, helping other campus students, helping the needy, and many more. If you have specific project ideas, be sure to let your club board of officers know so that they can implement them!

  7. What is a service hour? A service hour is defined as 60 minutes being spent performing community service. In Circle K, we also include travel time when we calculate service hours. Example: If you travel 30 minutes to a public park to clean up trash for 2 hours, you would get 3 hours of service (0.5 travel there, 2 cleaning, 0.5 back). Hours are counted in quarters of an hour. Fundraising does not count as service hours unless you are raising money for a charity or service project. So if you do a carwash for the American Cancer Society or to raise money to build a playground, then you could count the fundraising hours as service hours. But if the money goes into the club’s administrative budget, then it does not count as service.

  8. Why do we record service hours? All service hours performed by Circle K members is recorded at the club level. These totals are shared with the District and International. By keeping record of service hours performed by Circle K members, our organization can quantitatively measure the impact that we are having on our society. You can ask your club board for the number of service hours you have performed. Knowing this is great for when you are writing your resume.
