KEY CLUB INTERNATIONAL is the largest high school service organization in the world, targeting young people from age 15-19. Dedicated to involving students in community service, the organization has a total membership of 232,316 in 4,882 clubs located in 20 nations. Ozark Empire Kiwanis sponsors two Key Clubs. The Hillcrest High School club was chartered in 1960 and the Marshfield (Missouri) Key Club was chartered in 2001.

In the Spring of 2001 Jim Jones, a new faculty member at Marshfield High School contacted Ozark Empire Kiwanis club with the idea of sponsoring a new Key Club. Mr. Jones had been the faculty advisor of a Key Club in the past and was anxious to start one at MHS. Since there is no Kiwanis Club in Marshfield he was directed to the Kiwanis clubs in nearby Springfield. Ozark Empire Kiwanis members voted unanimously to sponsor the new club and on September 24, 2001 the new club held it's charter ceremony and installation of officers. There are more than 200 Key Clubs in the Missouri-Arkansas District. The Marshfield Key Club quickly earned recognition within the Missouri-Arkansas District and continues to be one of the most respected Key Clubs in the District.
