Welcome
What is Kiwanis?
Kiwanis is an international service organization serving the youth of
the world. It was founded in Detroit, Mich., in 1915.
The word “Kiwanis” originally came from an Otchipew American Indian expression, “Nunc Kee-wanis, meaning “we trade” or “we share our talents.” That expression was translated by the early founders of the
organization into our first motto “We build.”
In 2005 the organization chose a new motto, “Serving the Children of the World” which has been enhanced by our current saying “Changing the world one child and one community at a time”.
