The Kiwanis Vision

Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide – so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them, and provide the support they need to thrive.

Who We Are

Kids need adults who care. That’s why people join Kiwanis clubs. They’re local groups of like-minded volunteers who make a difference. 

What We Do

The average Kiwanian makes an impact on the lives of 106 children. Every Kiwanis Club across the District serve the needs of their community. 

Upcoming Events

Individual Kiwanis Clubs, Kiwanis Divisions, the Southwest District, and Kiwanis International host events for every interest. With something going on in the community nearly every day, see what is happening across the Southwest.

Club Education

Every Kiwanian has some skill or ability that they bring to their Club and the Children of the World. When Kiwanians support Kiwanians, we all become better. Learn from others, better support your club and earn certificates with our new online education platform!

What is Kiwanis?

You May have heard...

Kiwanis serves children, or that Kiwanians volunteer, but what do Kiwanians actually do? Kiwanis is not your grandparent’s service club. Each and every Kiwanian is empowered to find solutions to some of the worlds largest problems and those problems that affect their community. With thousands of clubs across the world, there is a project that will empower you or start your own project.
