I pledge to
uphold the Objects of Circle K International, to foster compassion and goodwill
toward others through service and leadership, to develop my abilities and the
abilities of all people, and to dedicate myself to the realization of mankind's
potential.
At Monmouth College, Circle K
represents
three words:
Service, Leadership, and Fellowship.
Service
As one of the three tenets, service is a fundamental
element of Circle K International. Collectively, Circle K members perform more
than 1 million hours of service on their campuses and in their communities
annually. Without service, Circle K International would be just another campus
activity. Through service, college students are making the world a better place.
As a sponsored program of Kiwanis International, Circle
K International shares the focus of serving the children of the world. In
support of this effort, the Circle K International service initiative is
Focusing on the Future: Children. This initiative encourages members to
address the issues facing children ages 6-13 and to find solutions through
service for addressing these issues.
Leadership
Through the mission and vision of the organization,
Circle K International is dedicated to the realization of mankind’s potential.
The potential of Circle K International lies in its ability to positively
influence members of society who are facing ultimate personal decisions and
those who will one day create the vision of mankind for generations to come.
Leadership opportunities afford Circle K members the resources and tools needed
to become active citizens. Circle K’ers can assume leadership responsibilities
at all levels of the organization and through various experiential training
conferences.
Fellowship
If there is one thing that Circle K’ers know best, it is fellowship. Whether
they are planning a car wash, visiting shut-ins, reading to three-year-olds or
conducting business, Circle K members across the globe take time to meet and
welcome new people. With each element and aspect of Circle K International,
members experience fellowship and develop life-long relationships with fellow
collegians, advisors, Kiwanians and citizens in their communities. Whether a
Circle K’er is mentoring a child, networking with a businessman, or bowling with
members, that Circle K’er is developing social skills, meeting new people and
strengthening relationships.
