Our Initiatives
"As a service organization, Circle K International allows us to carry out community service projects that change lives, including ourselves. Initiatives allow us to center our time and efforts in tackling causes together. These initiatives grant direct focus on specific causes as we place our outermost efforts in making an impact and to demonstrate our dedication towards our communities. We focus on different initiatives each year including one District Service Initiative and as much as four District Fundraising Initiatives."
District Service Initiative
“The DSI, or District Service Initiative, is an annual service theme that a district focuses on for the term. This means that all CKI clubs throughout CNH (California-Nevada-Hawaii), including CSULB, are encouraged to tailor a good portion of their service events and projects towards that theme.
The ‘20-‘21 DSI is Serving Our Environment. This means that this year’s DSI will focus on combatting climate change, conserving natural resources, and promoting green activism.
Although our club is limited by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of event availability, CSULB CKI is still dedicated in finding ways to foster a sustainable, healthy planet. With enthusiasm, we’ve sought to repurpose water bottles into planter bottles and transform old clothing into reusable tote bags/masks.
On the aspect of activism, we’ve aided organizations like LAWorks to demand cap-and-trade programs/capture-and-store acts, hosted informative climate change webinars for Key Clubs, and raised awareness for green petitions/emails.
There are lots of opportunities to volunteer and lead in CKI. Despite any circumstances like the pandemic or not, we are committed to serve our communities.”

District Fundraising Initiative
Our DFIs, District Fundraising Initiative, are long-term organizations that our district support through fundraising. Portion of our fundraising efforts will be donating towards the following organizations.
The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth.
The Kiwanis Family House strives to provide housing and support to families of seriously ill or injured children and adults being treated at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, CA. The funds raised will go towards providing additional resources and improve the satay for these families so they they can be there to support.
The Pediatric Trauma Program aims to develop local projects which will reduce the number of children who are killed or injured by trauma. These projects include promoting community outreach, providing education materials, and assisting partner hospitals. The funds raised will go towards the end goal of preventing unintentional injury and death as well as providing safety items for children.
Although we are presented with the limits of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are dedicated to finding ways to further our missions and to reach our goals by the end of our term.
