Kiwanis was organized in Detroit, Michigan, USA, on January
21, 1915.
Kiwanis focuses on the needs of ordinary people and children
to create extraordinary life-changing moments.
Kiwanis and its Service Leadership Programs boast a membership
of more than 600,000 men, women, and youth in nearly 16,000

Members of Kiwanis and its Service Leadership Programs volunteer more
than 21 million hours and invest more than $113 million in their communities
around the world.
Kiwanis is taking itself from a good organization to a truly
great organization that defines excellence for service and leadership
and builds leaders through service opportunities.
Kiwanis' impact on the world
will be measured by the 10 million young leaders it nurtures, rather
than by the number of members it attracts.
Kiwanis continues its service emphasis of “Young Children: Priority One,”
which focuses on the special needs of children from prenatal development
to age 5. In a typical year, “Young Children: Priority One” service
projects involve more than US$14 million and 1 million volunteer hours.
In 1994, Kiwanis launched its first Worldwide Service Project, a $75
million campaign in partnership with UNICEF to eliminate iodine deficiency
disorders by the year 2000. IDD projects have been funded in 95 nations.
Kiwanis International Foundation has raised nearly $100 million to eliminate
IDD worldwide.

Kiwanis International is the only service organization that builds
leaders at every level—from the youngest Kiwanis Kids all the way through
several youth programs and adult programs. (Kiwanis Family of Programs)

 Kiwanis
One Day occurs annually during the first weekend of April. It is an opportunity
to unite Kiwanis-family members from around the globe and their communities
in a dedicated day of action devoted to hands-on community service projects.

The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis

at the 1924 Convention in Denver, Colorado. Through the
succeeding decades, they have remained unchanged.
