Operation K.E.Y.S.

operationKEYSJoin fellow Rotarians every Fall for Operation K.E.Y.S. (Keeping Every Youth In School).  Rotarian adult families and friends are encouraged to join us in this great opportunity to demonstrate “Service Above Self.”

Operation K.E.Y.S is a community walk aimed at encouraging students to return to school.  We are proud to assist in this initiative that is a partnership between the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD), the Diocese of Corpus Christi and the City of Corpus Christi.  The event will target students who did not re-enroll and to encourage them to return to school to complete their education.  In the past six years, over 800 students have returned and over 100 have graduated or earned a GED. The event will pair one Rotarian volunteer with a CCISD employee to make home visits to students who did not enroll for the designated school year.

Instead of home visits, Rotarians can also volunteer on campus the morning of the event.  Campus duties may include handing out team bags, t-shirts, and snacks as well as distributing volunteer certificates to all volunteers, signing volunteers in on arrival, etc.

This week at the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi, we had the pleasure of hearing from our Rotary Youth Exchange student, Michaela Vidova, who shared her journey and the impact of the program on her life.Michaela spoke about following in the footsteps of both her father and her sister, and how that path led her to an experience that has been nothing short of life-changing. From new cultures to new connections, she reflected on how grateful she is for every opportunity the Rotary Youth Exchange program has given her—and how those experiences will stay with her long after this year.We’re especially grateful to the students from Solomon Coles High School, who reminded us that there are many pathways to success. Their stories of resilience and determination in the face of challenges were truly moving.We also loved hearing from the students of Veterans Memorial High School, whose friendship and support for one another showed how powerful it is to have someone by your side. Their bond was a great example of how encouragement can open doors and create new opportunities.It was a meaningful meeting all around, made even more special with a surprise Lifetime Achievement Award presentation to Rotarian Mike Kershaw in recognition of his lasting impact and dedication.Moments like these are what make our Thursdays so special.If you’ve been looking for a way to connect, grow, and give back in Corpus Christi, we’d love to have you join us.
