Kiwanis began in 1915 when the first club was formed in Detroit, Michigan. Kiwanis became an international organization with the charter of a club in Windsor, Ontario, Canada the following year. Today, Kiwanis consists of over 6,000 clubs in 97 countries with a total membership of over 300,000 volunteers.
The Kiwanis Mission & Vision
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Kiwanis strives to 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. Our Kiwanis club fulfills the Kiwanis mission by serving our community through our Service Projects.
Kiwanis Service
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
Our Kiwanis club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child in our community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, our club sponsors two Kiwanis family clubs — Circle K Clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities.
