What is a "District Project?"

A specific project focus selected every other year by the District Project committee made up of members of the District Board.
The current District Project covers the years 2010-2012. Clubs in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District come up with projects
(see specific topics for project ideas) that encompass this District focus. Clubs do these projects throughout the year.

Did you know the CNH District has a new District Project?

Check out the 2010-2012 District Project Guidebook.

Project Shine: Bringing Light into Someone’s Life focuses on individuals with special needs, whether it is academically, physically, or mentally. As Key Clubbers who become dedicated to this project focus on helping those with disabilities, we can now be the leaders and examples in our schools and communities on how we should be treating those with special needs, and how to help and support them as best we can. As Key Clubbers, our motto is “Caring- Our Way of Life”. Those with some type of disability need people to care for them and to show them acceptance. We now have the chance to exemplify our motto and truly live up to it.

And, besides directly helping those with special needs, we can also work on educating and spreading awareness to people in our community about the different disabilities. It would offer people a better understanding on the various types, which in turn can lead them to be more empathetic and understanding. Overall, our District Project is helping to unite people with differences, and to also help to change the negative ways people with special needs are treated.
