WE ARE THE LARGEST COLLEGIATE SERVICE ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.

Circle K International (CKI) is the premier collegiate and university community service, leadership development, and friendship organization in the world. With more than 13,770 members in 17 nations, CKI is making a positive impact on the world every day.

Circle K clubs are organized and sponsored by a Kiwanis club on a college or university campus. CKI is a self-governing organization and elects its own officers, conducts its own meetings, and determines its own service activities.

CKI blends community service and leadership training with the opportunity to meet other college students around the world. Projects such as the Six Cents Initiative, CKI’s International fundraiser that aims to provide water to the 2.2 billion children worldwide who lack safe drinking water, bring CKI members together to make a difference in the world.

THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST DISTRICT

The Pacific Northwest District is proud to say that Circle K International got it's start in our district. In 1936, the “Circle K House” at Washington State University was established by the Kiwanis Club of Pullman, Washington. Organized as a fraternity, Kappa Iota Phi served men who needed financial aid to attend college. Kiwanians also wanted to provide collegiate students leadership opportunities for their future careers and work service projects to better their communities while having a sense of fellowship. In 1947, Circle K changed from a fraternity to a service organization.

​​Today, Circle K is on 19 campuses across the Pacific Northwest and has over 400 members. The PNW District includes the states of Alaska, Northern California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington as well as the province of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.
