The Objects of Kiwanis

 

Object 1: To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the                          material values of life.

 

Object 2: To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human                           relationships.

 

Object 3: To promote the adoption and the application of higher social,                           business, and professional standards.               

 

Object 4: To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent,                                   aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

 

Object 5: To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form                           enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build

                better communities.

​

Object 6: To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public

                opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase

                of righteousness, justice, patriotism and goodwill.

​

 

Kiwanis members dedicate more than 18 million volunteer hours and invest more than US$107 million annually in projects that strengthen communities and serve children. We help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged and care for the sick. We develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research and much more. We believe that helping a child helps the world.

​

Working together, Kiwanis members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream and succeed, great things happen!

​

Global Results.

Kiwanis is once again joining forces with UNICEF to confront another threat to the world’s children.
