joining key club gives you scholarship opportunities, grant opportunities (if you are willing to take the initiative to make your own project), and as sillycereal said, leadership opportunities.

I say do both. I do both; I volunteer on a weekly basis on my own, and I do my key club’s volunteering events.

Personally, I believe it’s not just volunteering that you can get out of Key Club. My whole high school career I’ve been in Key Club, and I made countless friends, organized major fundraisers and events, had club officer, then district board positions, and most importantly, had a lot of fun.

But it honestly doesn’t matter what you do in the end.
It depends on if you’re willing to put in effort, whether it’s through individually volunteering or through Key Club.
Don’t join because you think colleges will want to see “Key Club” on your application.

One girl from my district took all the opportunities she could in Key Club, starting from her freshman year. Now she’s international president.
