About Us

---

Welcome to Kiwanis International! Since our establishment in 1915, we have been on a mission to empower communities and make a positive impact in the lives of children worldwide. With a global presence in over 80 nations and a dedicated membership of nearly 600,000 individuals, we work tirelessly to strengthen communities and create lasting change.

Led by a passionate team of volunteers on our Board of Trustees, including elected officers and regional representatives, we shape the direction of Kiwanis International and drive our mission of service forward. One of our prominent regions, the United States and Pacific Canada, covers all 50 states of the U.S. as well as British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada.

Our success lies in the commitment of individuals like you, who contribute to the vibrant network of Kiwanis clubs and districts. With 53 administrative districts and numerous local clubs, we create a powerful force for good. From dedicated governor-elects and governors to enthusiastic vice presidents, presidents, secretaries, treasurers, and directors, each role plays a vital part in our collective efforts to make a difference.

At the heart of our work is the well-being of children and the communities they belong to. We are driven by the belief that together, we can create a brighter future. Through volunteerism and unwavering dedication, Kiwanis International members actively collaborate to bring positive change and build stronger, more vibrant communities across the globe.

We invite you to join us in our global endeavors, as we empower communities and transform lives. 

Together, we can create a brighter future for children, inspire lasting change, and make a real difference in the world.
