WHO ARE THE KIWANIANS

Picture
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time.

Kiwanis Name

The name “Kiwanis” means “we trade” or “we share our talents.” It was coined from an American Indian expression, Nunc Kee-wanis.


Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children and communities. Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged, and care for the sick. They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. No problem is too big or too small. Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things happen!

As Kiwanis clubs and members, we see it everyday!

 O    Kiwanis was founded in Detroit, Michigan, on January 21, 1915. 

O    In the early years, Kiwanis clubs focused on business networking,but even then, members were serving the needs of the poor.

O    By 1919, the organization had changed its focus from business to service.

O    Kiwanis became an international organization in 1916 with the organization of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario.

O    Kiwanis limited its membership to the United States and Canada until 1962 when worldwide expansion was approved.

O    Until 1987, Kiwanis was a male-only organization. But after years of debate and growing support, women’s membership was received overwhelmingly
