Guided by six
permanent Objects, Kiwanis clubs
view their role within their respective communities with a
great deal of foresight. Key aspects to operating an
effective club include:
- Evaluating both children’s issues and community needs
on an ongoing basis
- Conducting service projects to respond to those
identified needs
- Maintaining an active membership roster of
professional business people who have both the desire and
the ability to serve their community
Club meetings
traditionally are conducted once a week and offer an
atmosphere of fun, learning, and fellowship. In addition to
attending the meetings, the typical Kiwanian volunteers each
month to assist with club service projects.
Service projects often
are linked to the Kiwanis program, “Young Children: Priority
One.” This initiative places continuing focus on the needs
of children in pediatric trauma, safety, child care, early
development, infant health, nutrition, and parenting skills.
Service projects also
can address other needs within the community, such as
working to stop substance abuse, helping the elderly,
promoting literacy, supporting youth sports and recreation,
responding to disasters, and supporting specific persons in
need. |
