Character Building + Social
Being a part of Key Club gives you the opportunity to meet a variety of new people from a multitude of backgrounds! Members meet each other and make friends by attending the various service and social events that Key Club has to offer! If you are a new member, make sure to attend our frequent Poly Key Club meetings, held on Tuesdays in room 806 during lunch, to stay informed on upcoming events and start building bonds within our club! On the division level, attending DCMs (Division Council Meetings) are a great way to meet members from other schools within Long Beach; DCMs are held monthly so make sure to check our socials periodically for date announcements! Throughout your time in Key Club, you will also get the opportunity to meet other Key Clubbers from other divisions, cities, and states! These larger scale events include RTC (Region Training Conference), FRS (Fall Rally South), and DCON (District Convention).
