service
leadership
Our main goal as members
is to serve our community and
help those who cannot help them-
selves. This is always our number
one priority in Circle K.
Circle K International uniquely oers many opportunities
to promote growth and development as a uture leader
through workshops, training events, and leadership posi-
tions ranging rom an appointed club ocer to the Interna-
tional President.
The organization also ocuses on developing strong relationships between
members. Since there is such a strong ocus on bonding, members become
riends or lie. Our passion or service unites us!

WhatisCircleKInte
rnational?
Circle K is the largest collegiate community service, leadership development, and
riendship organization in the world. Circle K clubs are organized and sponsored bya Kiwanis club on a college or university campus. It is a sel-governing organiza-
tion and elects its own ocers, conducts its own meetings, and determines
its own service activities. This high degree o autonomy allows or a
unique service experience driven entirely by the members or the
members.
As a new addition to this growing collegiate service
organization, youll quickly learn that this clubis ocused on ar more than just community
service. Not only will you have many op-
portunities to serve your community
and raise money or charity, but
you will also develop many
lasting riendships and
be oered many
opportunitiesor personal
growth.
WELCOME TO CIRCLE K!(we promise we wont bite... as long as you read this guide!)

WHY UCLA Circle Kis Awesome
UCLA CKI oers you the chance to make
a dierence in someones lie. It isnt justthe service, ellowship, or leadership that
makes this club as special as it is.
We are a diverse group who share a passion
or service. I probably wouldnt have metso many dierent, down-to-earth people
anywhere else on campus.
It fts into MY schedule. I have the reedom togo to the events I want, when I want to. There
are no minimum requirements to
be a member.
We stay determined as a service club. Whilewe do have socials and such, we never deviate
rom our true purpose o doing service!
The bonds in this club are the closest Ive ever
seen, even compared to other schools CKI
clubs. We orm some o the best tried and true
riendships possible.
We put our hearts and souls into everything
we do, and sometimes, we STILL believe its
not good enough! BUT, ater all those bullet-
dodging moments and restless nights, we fnd
out that our hearts have touched other hearts,
and we realize everything was all worthwhile.
Our vast array o interests and personalities is
as diverse as the ways we help the community.Here, people can fnd their niche with dancers,
photographers, singers, oodies, artists, ash-
ionistas or simply others in their majors who
are just as passionate about service as they are
to their pastimes and felds o study.
UCLA CKI will always be there or you, even iyou cant be active with midterms/academics
or having any personal issues.
UCLA CKI is awesome because you can meet
many amazing people and orm bonds, youbecome an integral part onot just
an organization but o a amily.
Circle K is awesome because
people in the club accept you or who you are.
Lets get some input from some of
our board members...

But what does thatmean?
Well, as you may know, UCLA Circle K is just one chapter o many.
Chapters in a certain region make a division, which is led by a Lieu-
tenant Governor, and divisions all together make a district, which is
led by the District Governor.
UCLA CKI is a chapter within the Metro Division, led by Lieutenant
Governor JonJon Junpradub, which is a part o the Cal-Nev-Ha
District. Pretty cool, yeah? Check out these other schools in our divi-
sion!
