- Member Buddy Program
- After dues are paid, our new members will be paired up with a member buddy—someone who has been a member of CKI for at least one year and knows the ins and outs of CKI.
- If you are interested in being a member buddy, please contact Danette Schwartz at danettes@email.arizona.edu.
- Active Member Points System
- As long as you pay your dues, you are free to be as active or inactive as you want. However, we like to reward those members who go above and beyond!
- Each month, if you earn 10 active member points, you will be considered an active member and will be recognized at our monthly recognition ceremony. Each hour of service you complete, each social event you attend, and each fundraiser that you attend earns you 1 point and district events earn you 3 points. The most active member will be presented the Active Member of the Month Award! Additionally, if you want to run for an officer or chair position in the future, active membership is required.

- Y.E.S. – Youth Experiencing Service
- We were awarded a Tomorrow Fund Grant at International Convention for $1000 to put on a youth service day on campus this year with our community partners and middle school students from all over Tucson. We will be forming a committee of 10 people to work on this project. If you are interested in applying, please contact Danette Schwartz at danettes@email.arizona.edu for an application. Applications are due Tuesday, September 11 at 11:59 PM.
- Dues
- In order to be recognized as a member of CKI and to participate in our events, you must pay your dues. Dues are ordinarily $33 dollars for the entire year, which go to the district and international levels of CKI and provide you with insurance in case you get hurt at an event. You will also receive a membership card, pin, and handbook. We will be holding an official induction ceremony for dues-paid members later this fall.
- Dues will be due on September 19. We are working to lower the cost of dues this year, but we have not come up with a final amount yet. If for any reason you cannot pay your dues, do not give up on CKI! Please contact Danette Schwartz at danettes@email.arizona.edu.
