The Kiwanis family

A global organization of volunteers

As a part of Kiwanis International, K-Kids club members join a global organization of volunteers, from primary school age through adulthood. In 2023, the Kiwanis family dedicated more than 7.7 million hours to service and completed hundreds of thousands of service projects for local and global causes. Our members come from all walks of life, all corners of the globe and every age group and ability. But make no mistake about it — we are family.
