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