What are Club Dues?
- Club Dues are paid annually to both the Florida District of Key Club and Key Club International
District and International dues are $17.00 ($7.00 for District and $10.00 for International) - Clubs may add an additional amount to be retained by the club. Total dues amount must be in your Club Bylaws as approved by two-thirds vote of your members.
- Kiwanis Engage is used to input and update membership information and will be open on September 4th.
Why Should I Pay Dues?
- A Key Club must pay dues in order to be in good standing with Key Club International, be eligible for awards, attend District Conference, and more.
- Payment of dues to Key Club International is a requirement for a student to be considered a Key Club member.
- District dues provide funding for the Florida Opportunity Fund, support the Endowment Fund which awards college scholarships to Key Clubbers, reduce the cost of DCON, provide training for District Board members, fund services to clubs, and cover general expenses.
- International dues help underwrite the cost of International Convention, provide membership cards and pins, offer recognition awards, create and distribute resources such as promotional materials, posters, and the Key Club Magazine.

Steps to Pay Dues
- Click on the “Kiwanis Engage” button at the top of this page. This will take you directly to Kiwanis Engage.
- Use your advisor’s email address and password that your advisor set up to login (see the “Creating a Kiwanis Engage Account” tab if your club did not pay dues last year).
- After you’re logged in, click “Member admin” to add new members.
- Then click “Bulk add member” to add multiple members at a time.
- Once your club’s membership is completely updated, print the invoice by going to the “Finance” tab and mail in a check or submit payment online. Note that not all club members must be paid for at one time. You can generate multiple invoices throughout the year and pay for members as they join the club.
