Why establish a program?
The Kiwanis kids program opens avenues of service and development to elementary-school children around the world. In more than 1,200 K-Kids clubs, children learn the value of helping others, the importance of teamwork and the benefits of leadership. Meanwhile, Bring Up Grades and Terrific Kids help children reach personal goals-and enjoy the thrill of individual achievement. We hope you’ll play a part.
