Kiwanis Sponsored Organizations
As Kiwanis membership has grown and enthusiasm for its service-based
format has spread, Kiwanis has created additional volunteer opportunities
for people at every stage of life through its sponsored programs.
CKI
Circle K is a service club for collegians
and has clubs on more than 600 university and
college campuses in 17
nations. Circle K was started in Pullman, Washington, and was
formally organized as a service organization in 1947. Its members
are committed to leadership, service, and fellowship.
Key Club International
The oldest Kiwanis sponsored-youth program
is Key Club. Seventeen boys in Sacramento, California, made up
the first Key Club in
1925, and today the organization is active in more than 20 nations and
includes nearly 5,000 clubs. More than 2 million
youth have enlisted in Key Club since its inception, including
many who are now top government and business leaders.
Builders Club
When middle school and junior high students began
to show an interest in organizing to serve their schools and
communities, the Builders
Club program was launched in 1975. With support from Kiwanis
clubs, Key Clubs, and Circle K clubs, the Builders Club network
has grown to include clubs on more than 1,200 campuses in 18 nations.
K-Kids
This organization for elementary school-age students began
in 1990 when the first club was formed in North Lauderdale, Florida,
and formally adopted as a sponsored program by Kiwanis in 1998.
Today, there are more than 600 clubs and 12 nations, all of which are actively
creating opportunities for community service, leadership development,
and citizenship education.
Aktion Clubs
In October 2000, Kiwanis extended service opportunities
to adult citizens living with developmental disabilities through
the formation
of Aktion Clubs. These clubs provide members with opportunities
to develop initiative and leadership, to serve their communities,
to be integrated into society, and to demonstrate the dignity
and value of citizens living with developmental disabilities.
To date, there are more than 200 clubs in seven nations.
Kiwanis Junior
Kiwanis Junior clubs are recognized in Europe and help to share
the Kiwanis service experience with younger adults, ages 18-35.
Kiwanis Junior became an official program in 1992 and now includes
more than 50 clubs.
Key Leader
Kiwanis International announces Key Leader—a new leadership experience
for today's youth leaders. It will focus on service leadership as
the first, most meaningful leadership development experience. A
Key Leader will learn the most important lesson of leadership—leadership
comes from helping others succeed.
