What is CSULB CKI?
|
Circle K International was originally founded in 1936 as a fraternity at Washington State College. Its purpose was to help men who needed financial aid to attend college. The fraternity officially became a service organization in 1947 and is now an international collegiate service organization with over 7,000 members on 300 campuses and 18 countries with the goal to promote its three tenants: service, leadership, and fellowship. Under our organization's motto, pledge, and efforts below, our organization continues to thrive!
"I pledge to uphold the objects of Circle K International, to foster compassion and goodwill toward other through service and leadership, and to develop my abilities and the abilities of all people, and to dedicate myself to the realization of humanity's potential."

Service
|
|
As a core tenet of Circle K International, our members have participated in and planned a large variety of community service opportunities to help as many people and as many communities as possible. Service is our thing. From weekly tabletop projects to providing food assistance for families during COVID-19, from fundraisers for various charities to planting trees in the city of Long Beach, CSULB Circle K offers a variety of opportunities for everyone to get involved with the local communities and make a difference.

leadership
|
Circle K International would not be able to operate without passionate and dedicated leaders. We aim to develop leadership skills within every member to help them grow into the leaders of tomorrow. There are many opportunities for leadership development at CSULB Circle K — from chairing service events to hosting workshops, participating in committees to serving as a board member. Whether you serve on the club, district, or international level, the skills you learn and experiences you gain will assist you the rest of your life.

Fellowship
|
|
Circle K International would not be fun if it weren’t for the friends you meet along the way. Fellowship allows members to grow their networks and form new lifelong relationships. By connecting people of common interests, you learn more about yourself and each other. Through our family and mentorship systems, social events, general meetings, and more, close relationships and camaraderie are fostered at CSULB Circle K.
