The Ally Club is dedicated to promoting equal rights and support for the LGBTQIA community on campus and throughout the South Shore. Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive environment where all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, feel valued and respected.

Circle K International (CKI) is dedicated to cultivating future leaders through a range of unique service, leadership, and fellowship opportunities that not only make a positive impact on the world but also transform the lives of our members. As a collegiate service organization affiliated with the Kiwanis family, CKI empowers students to engage in meaningful community service while developing essential leadership skills.
Our members are deeply committed to addressing critical issues such as childhood development, environmental justice, food insecurity, housing instability, and mental health awareness. By participating in service projects, members work collaboratively to support vulnerable populations and create lasting change within our communities.
CKI plays a vital role in the broader Kiwanis family of programs, helping to enhance the lives of children in ways that would otherwise be unattainable for individual clubs and districts. Through fundraising efforts, volunteer opportunities, and advocacy campaigns, CKI members strive to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
In addition to our service initiatives, CKI also emphasizes personal growth and fellowship among members. By fostering a strong sense of community, we create a supportive environment where students can build lasting relationships, enhance their leadership abilities, and grow as individuals. Join us in our mission to change lives, inspire hope, and build a brighter future for all!
