Kiwanis International

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world, one child and one community at a time.

Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children and communities. Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged, and care for the sick. They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. No problem is too big or too small. Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things happen!

For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. It’s a mark we all proudly leave on the world. 

Kiwanis International is a global community of clubs, members and partners dedicated to improving the lives of children one community at a time.  Today, we stand with more than 550,000 members from K-Kids to Key Club to Kiwanis and many ages in between in 80 countries and geographic areas.  Each community has different needs, and Kiwanis empowers members to pursue creative ways to serve the needs of children, such as fighting hunger, improving literacy and offering guidance.

Kiwanis clubs host nearly 150,000 service projects each year. 

Mission:

 Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. 

  Values: 

We are passionate about making a difference.  Helping kids grow and succeed is at the heart of everything we do.  But how we do it is just as important.  We believe our neighborhoods and our world are best served when people of all ages and different backgrounds work together to share heir time and talents. 

 Positioning:

 Kiwanis connects people around the world with opportunities to passionately pursue club volunteerism, service and fundraising that make a positive, lasting impact in the lives of children.

  Vision:

 Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide—so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive
