Kiwanis International clubs are found in more than 80 nations worldwide. Kiwanis and its family of clubs-nearly 600,000 members strong-annually raise more than $100 million and dedicate more than 18 million volunteer hours to strengthen communities and serve children.

The Kiwanis family of clubs include Kiwanis, Aktion (for adults with disabilities), Circle K (for college students), Key Club (for high school students), Builder's Club (middle school) and

Kiwanis is unique as a service club in its focus on children and projects that improve the lives of children, both locally and internationally. These projects include neo-natal care, health and safety, nutrition, parenting, early childhood development, and literacy. Also included are projects to protect teens and promote their healthy choices and leadership development.
