What
is
Kiwanis?
Kiwanis
is
a
worldwide
service
organization
of
individuals
who
want
to
improve
their
communities.
As
a
group,
they
can
achieve
what
individuals
cannot
do
alone.
These
individuals
attend
Kiwanis
club
meetings
for
fellowship
and
inspiration.
They
perform
voluntary
community
service
through
committees...usually
after
hours.
Kiwanis
is
not
a
social
club
nor
a
secret
or
political
society.
It
does
not
prescribe
a
way
for
life
for
others.
It
often
does,
however,
act
as
a
forum
for
diverse
ideas.
Facts
Today
Kiwanis
numbers
more
than
300,000
members
in
over
8,000
clubs.
Though
Kiwanis
serves
in
countries
around
the
world,
the
basic
principles
are
the
same.
Kiwanis sponsors three organizations for young men and women: Builders Clubs in junior high schools, Key Clubs in high schools and Circle K in colleges.
