HOME CLUB
The home club is the foundation of Key Club. Each home club is unique compared to clubs from other schools. Every club is part of a division with other nearby clubs. Home clubs are named after the school's name and then "Key Club" at the end.

DIVISION
Divisions are comprised of home clubs in a certain area. There are multiple divisions in Southern California alone. Divisions are usually named with a "D", a number and then a letter representing the 4 cardinal directions, "N, E, S, W". DCMs, Divisional Council Meetings, are usually held once a month with home clubs in that division. More about the history of the division HERE.

Division 30 South was formed in the year 1996 when Angela Oh from Loara High School became our first Lt. Governor after the Division 30 split into North and South. Since the very beginning, our divisional mascot has always been the SUN where we shine while serving our communities. It has been 20 years since we became a division and we have continued to shine, grow, and learn, as we keep the power of the SUN alive.
​
Our division is also sponsored by only 3 Kiwanis clubs: Cypress, La Palma, and Greater Anaheim. This creates a familiar environment for Kiwanians and Key Club officers to communicate effectively in order to help this division thrive. In the end, all 14 schools of Division 30 South have contributed so much to uphold a tradition of excellence for service and spirit.
