Tenets of CKI

CKI is Service

As one of the three tenets, service is a fundamental element of CKI. Collectively, members perform more than 1 million hours of service on their campuses and in their communities annually. Without service, CKI would be just another campus activity. Through service, college students are making the world a better place.

CKI is Leadership

Through the mission and vision of the organization, CKI is dedicated to the realization of mankind's potential. The potential of CKI lies in its ability to positively influence members of society who are facing ultimate personal decisions and those who will one day create the vision of mankind for generations to come. Leadership opportunities afford Circle K members the resources and tools needed to become active citizens. Members of CKI can assume leadership responsibilities at all levels of the organization and through various experiential training conferences.

CKI is Fellowship

If there is one thing that CKI members know best, it is fellowship. Whether they are planning a car wash, visiting shut-ins, reading to three-year-olds, or conducting business, Circle K members across the globe take time to meet and welcome new people. With each element and aspect of CKI, members experience fellowship and develop life-long relationships with fellow collegians, advisors, Kiwanians, and citizens in their communities. Whether a CKI member is mentoring a child, networking with a businessman, or bowling with members, that CKI member is developing social skills, meeting new people, and strengthening relationships.
