Founded in 1915, and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, Kiwanis International is a thriving organization of service and community-minded individuals who support children and young adults around the world. More than 8,000 Kiwanis clubs in more than 80 countries make their mark by first responding to the needs of their communities and, when called upon, pooling their resources to address worldwide issues. Kiwanis clubs serve their communities while providing members with an opportunity for personal growth through the contribution of their enthusiasm, time, and fund-raising efforts.

In the end, when all the volunteering, service, and fundraising is over, Kiwanians feel good about the positive impact they've made on local hospitals, schools, projects - and at the very heart of Kiwanis - people.
