Key Club has seen record membership this year, which is only expected to continue to grow next year.
Rebecca Rudolph ’26, is one of the club’s officers. She says that the club is a great opportunity for students. “[It’s] a club where Heritage students get to come together and find opportunities to volunteer… We’re collaborating with Columbine, Arapahoe, Littleton… [the club] about volunteering specifically.”
Bennet Moon ’26 is one of the club’s officers. He joined because he was excited to make a difference in his community. “When I first started, I just wanted to do some volunteering… there’s a lot of good to be done out there, and there’s a lot of places that need volunteering, and there wasn’t really anywhere I could look other than Key Club.”
Moon attributes Key Club’s larger membership to a similar drive in other people. “I think there’s a lot of opportunities nowadays in terms of what Littleton needs and how to help, and there’s more places to serve.”
Mrs. Sarah Linville, a teacher at Heritage and Key Club’s sponsor, agrees. “I think people are looking for ways to engage in their communities more.”
Rebecca Rudolph ’26 thinks that advertising has been a cornerstone of the club’s success this year. “We’ve put a lot more emphasis into advertising this year, we’ve been on announcements, our social media has increased. I think that people are starting to realize that it’s the best club ever.”
Joining, Linville says, is easy. “You can join us at any meeting on Mondays after school, and kind of learn about what service projects we’re doing. We do have to submit official rosters… to Key Club International in December each year. So if you want to join… you need to join before December and pay your dues.”
