Kiwanis Club Of Groveland

Kiwanis International
This global organization of members is dedicated to serving the children of the world.
Kiwanis and its family of clubs— more than 600,000 members strong—annually raise
more than US$100 million and dedicate more than 18.5 million volunteer hours to
strengthen communities and serve children. Members of every age attend regular
meetings, experience fellowship, raise funds for various causes and participate in
service projects that help their communities. Members also make an impact throughout
the world by participating in Kiwanis International’s Global Campaign for Children,
The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus.
Adults
Kiwanis International offers three clubs for adults: Kiwanis, Aktion Club and Circle K
International. Kiwanis clubs serve their communities by sponsoring 150,000 service
projects each year. Aktion Club is the only community service club for adults living
with disabilities. It provides members opportunities to become integrated into their
communities while developing initiative and leadership skills. CKI is the world’s largest
student-led collegiate service organization with clubs on 504 campuses. More
than 45,000 graduating Key Club and CKI alumni are now associate members, a new
membership category to engage former Service Leadership Programs members.
Youth
Key Club, the oldest and largest service organization for teens, teaches leadership through
service to others. Builders Club for adolescents provides students with opportunities to
develop leadership, improve self-esteem, increase civic engagement and learn life skills
through service. Kiwanis Kids for elementary students provides students with opportunities
to work together on service projects, develop leadership potential and create strong
moral character.
Programs
Terrific Kids and Bring Up Grades, both for students age 6–12, teach children to plan,
set goals, work with others and celebrate success. Key Leader is a weekend leadership
retreat for teens.
The Eliminate Project
The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International’s Global Campaign for Children, will save or
protect millions of mothers and their future babies. In partnership with UNICEF, Kiwanis
is eliminating MNT, a disease that kills one baby every 11 minutes, by immunizing women
of child bearing age. UNICEF and its partners have already eliminated MNT in more
than 30 countries, and Kiwanis’ pledge to raise US$110 million will help fund the
elimination of the disease in the countries that remain at risk
