At Golden Key, we are more than good students; we are scholars. We believe in the power of knowledge to transform lives and change situations for the better. We enjoy academic challenges and strive for excellence in our fields. We are not bookish; we are learned.

Since it was established, Golden Key has recognized more than 12 million undergraduate and graduate students for their intellectual achievements. In addition, our Society has awarded $10 million in scholarships and awards to members in all fields of study.

All over the world Golden Key members are reaching out, making plans; changing lives. You speak and people listen; you lead and people follow. Wherever you go, Golden Key is with you, offering opportunities to further develop your leadership skills and work with others with similar purpose and goals.

As Golden Key members, you are already leaders, but may elect to enhance your leadership skills by becoming a chapter, regional or international officer.

Step up. Stand out. Make a difference. Make the world a better place. Inspire others. Throughout our lives, we're bombarded with messages, pleading, commanding and motivating us to give back to our communities and the world at large.

Golden Key members come together to make a difference in their communities all over the world by performing more than 200,000 hours of service annually. In July of 2014, Golden Key launched its first ever global service initiative: SPARK a Change. The mission of SPARK is to impact and improve the lives of at-risk youth through literacy, education and real-world preparedness.  Golden Key members are challenged to SPARK a Change!
