The six objects of Kiwanis "which serve as the guiding principles of our organization and offer each of us a framework within which to fulfill the obligations we have in our daily lives":
-To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than the material values of life
-To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships
-To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards
-To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship
-To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities
-To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
