What Is Kiwanis?

Kids Need Kiwanis. Kiwanis Needs You.

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

The Kiwanis 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.

The Kiwanis motto
Serving the children of the world
