About Us

Kiwanis International is a global community of clubs, members and partners dedicated to improving the lives of children one community at a time.

Today, we stand with more than 550,000 members, from K-Kids to Key Club to Kiwanis and many ages in between, in 80 countries and geographic areas. Each community has different needs, and Kiwanis empowers members to pursue creative ways to serve the needs of children, such as fighting hunger, improving literacy and offering guidance.

Kiwanis International is organized into clubs, divisions, districts and international. This multi-leveled leadership hierarchy means members are supported by a larger network of leaders who are prepared to help clubs be successful while improving communities.

Kiwanis clubs host nearly 150,000 service projects each year.
