CKI members, by planning and participating in projects and activities, volunteer their time, talents, ideas and skills for the purpose of making a long-lasting and far-reaching impact on their environment.
2. Leadership Development - Through the CKI structure, every Circle K'er has the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills by serving as an officer or event chair.
