The Kiwanis Mission

 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 is a positive influence in our community both for Children and many essential service providers — so that one day, all children will wake up in a community that believes in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.
 

The Kiwanis motto
Serving the children of the world

The Kiwanis Objects

• To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.
• To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
• To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards.
• To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship.
• To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service and to build better communities.
• To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism and goodwill.

Our Impact in the Community

Kiwanis clubs and members conduct service projects. We hold fundraisers. We donate to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund. We change children’s lives in their own communities and through international initiatives — helping young people develop mentally, physically and emotionally

Every year, Kiwanis members stage more than 1.3 million service projects and raise nearly US$390 million for children, families and communities around the world. Kiwanis club projects are based on the community’s needs — we build playgrounds, purchase medical equipment, stuff backpacks with school supplies, restock libraries and much more. The average Kiwanian makes an impact on the lives of 106 children.
