WHAT IS KIWANIS?

The name "Kiwanis" stems from an Indian phrase which, roughly translated, means "to express one's self."

Kiwanis is a service organization that believes children are the future, takes pride in your community, wants to reach out to those in need, and enjoys meeting new people. Kiwanis was founded in 1915 and is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over the years Kiwanis has thrived in more than 8,000 clubs and more than 80 countries which we are proud to say is now "Kiwanis International." (click on spinner)
