What is Kiwanis?

• Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.
• These men and women 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 of life for others. It often does, however, act as a forum for diverse ideas.
