Circle K International (CKI) is the world’s largest student-led collegiate service organization, and we’re inviting you to join our mission of leadership, fellowship and service.

Why volunteering matters

Being a Buff means more than just attending classes; it’s about being a responsible citizen. Volunteering is the heartbeat of a strong community, it provides vital support to local organizations and allows us to tackle challenges like food insecurity and animal welfare head-on. In CKI, we believe that service isn't just a box to check; it’s a way to lead.

What we do

Our members turn passion into action through high-impact projects. This past semester, we:

• Tackled food insecurity: Organized a massive Thanksgiving food drive for the Food Bank of the Rockies
• Supported animal welfare: Crafted and donated dozens of homemade pet toys to the Boulder Humane Society
• Built community: Celebrated our hard work with our Pumpkin Pie and Puppies social event

Why join us?

By joining CKI, you aren't just adding a line to your resume; you are gaining real-world project management experience and joining a global network of peers. Whether you want to lead a service initiative or simply want to meet like-minded friends, CKI offers a platform to grow as a leader while giving back to the community we call home.

Ready to get started?

Next meeting: will be announced soon on our Instagram. Follow us on Instagram @cubouldercki.

We can't wait to see the impact you'll make!

As you return for the spring semester, please take a moment to clean out your refrigerator and discard anything that was left in it over winter break. On Dec. 17-19, our area experienced high winds and power outages, which means that some residences lost power for extended periods, which may cause food to spoil – even if it looks or smells ok. Consuming food that has been unrefrigerated can lead to serious health risks, including foodborne illness.

When you return, please:

• Do not eat any food left in your fridge over the break.
• If you have medications that require refrigeration, please check with your medical provider.
• Discard all items that require refrigeration.
• Wipe down your fridge with a disinfectant to ensure it is clean before adding new items.

We understand the inconvenience but want to ensure your safety. Thank you for taking these precautions.

Strategic Relations and Communications has pallets of Boulder visitor guides. If you would like some for your office, please fill out this Google Form.
