We are the Kiwanis Family

Kiwanis Family Relations

• Kiwanis Family consists of the various branches of Kiwanis International. It consists of of K-Kids, Builders Club, Key Club, Circle K, Kiwanis, and Aktion Club.

K-Kids

K-Kids

• K-Kids is Kiwanis for elementary school children.

• It is part of the Kiwanis Kids Program, which includes:

-Bringing Up Grades and Terrific Kids. • Part of our initiative this year is to get more

Key Clubs to sponsor a K-Kids. They are very self-sufficient and extremely service-oriented!

Objectives: -To provide opportunities for working together in service to school and community; -To develop leadership potential; -To foster development of a strong, moral character; -To encourage loyalty to school, community, and nation

What’s so great about being a Co-Sponsor anyways?

When your Key Club co-sponsors a K-Kids Club you become a role model and mentor to the K-Kids Club. Your guidance to the K-Kids will in turn help with the longevity of your own Key Club, if the K-Kids you co-sponsor is at an elementary school that eventually feeds into your high school.

Once those K-Kids enter high school before establishing a K-Kids Club make sure that a Builder’s Club is established at the “feeder” middle school, that way you don’t leave any gaps in the K-Family.

Builders Club

Builders Club

• This is the middle school version of Kiwanis's Service Leadership Programs.

• Objective: -To develop competent, capable, caring leaders through the vehicle of service.• You can do a variety of fun service projects with

Builders Club members such as planting trees, cleaning up a park, organizing a car wash, and much more!

How to Charter a club:

The best way to start and work with a Builders Club is to talk with your Kiwanis Club to see if they are willing to co-sponsor with you. Aim for starting a club at your “feeder” middle schools (meaning the school that “feeds” into your

high school). Then, meet with their Principal and find a Faculty Advisor. Once you have those steps make sure they

know the bylaws, hold elections, and charter the club!

Builder’s Club

Once you get started…After starting or chartering a Builders Club start helping them with service and, even invite them to help with your Key Club’s projects.

The aim of Builders club is to develop sound, moral values for students to develop throughout their middle school years. Also, get them excited about Key Club!! As middle school students, they have a few years to be in Builders Club, then it’s off to high school! Always encourage them to join Key Club!
