Governance

Everyone associated with a K-Kids — advisors, members, sponsoring club members — has a role with responsibilities. K-Kids clubs have governing documents and policies in place so that everyone involved with the club will know what’s expected of them, what processes to follow and who to approach with questions.

Governing documents

Sponsorship and Co-sponsorship
Responsibilities of the Kiwanis club are explained in the K-Kids Petition for Charter document. Co-sponsoring Kiwanis-family club members such as Key Club and Circle K are expected to uphold the same sponsorship requirements.
