WHAT IS KIWANIS?
You May have heard…
Kiwanis serves children, or that Kiwanians volunteer, but what do Kiwanians actually do? Kiwanis is not your grandparent’s service club. Each and every Kiwanian is empowered to find solutions to some of the worlds largest problems and those problems that affect their community. With thousands of clubs across the world, there is a project that will empower you or start your own project.
