Using time constructively
Kiwanis Kids programs can be established in a community center or library as after-school programs. Each of the programs assist youth in attaining important developmental assets, or life skills, which prepare them to deal with life’s challenges. Learn more about developmental assets and their impact on youth.
What is K-Kids?
K-Kids is a student-led service club sponsored by a Kiwanis club. Fifteen or more students meet weekly or bi-weekly to conduct club meetings with the support of a Kiwanis club advisor. Members elect officers, identify community needs, plan service and fundraising projects and develop leadership skills. Club meetings can be scheduled in a community center or local library.
Utilizing the K-Kids program as an after-school program works well. Students are engaged in meaningful activities where they utilize organizational and leadership skills.
