University of South Carolina Circle K Club

The Columbia Kiwanis Club sponsors the USC Circle K Club which was first chartered July 17, 1998. It has been re-charted several times over the years as student leadership comes and goes.

The USC Circle K Club is "siblings" with the Key Clubs at Dreher High School, AC Flora High School, and Columbia High School. The club serves its campus and community while working to build character and leadership qualities in its members.

USC Circle K Club Activities

USC Circle K Club’s provides an opportunity for our members to get involved in the community.  Altruism and fraternity are the central purposes of our organization, and we make a strong effort to participate in activities that build both our community and our group.  In the past we have worked with several organizations and events such as the Hannah House, which is a shelter for women and children coming from broken homes.  We have participated at Boo at the Zoo, which is an event sponsored by the Riverbanks Zoo during Halloween.  This is just to name a few.
