Why Join Kiwanis?

If you’re someone who wants to give back to your community and make a real difference, joining a local Kiwanis Club might be just what you’re looking for. It’s a great way to meet people who care about the same things you do—helping kids, improving neighborhoods, and creating positive change. You don’t need any special experience, just a desire to help and be involved. Over time, it’s not just about volunteering—it becomes about the friendships you build, the lives you touch, and the pride you feel in being part of something meaningful right where you live.


What’s in it for Me?

  1. Meet Corporate Volunteer Requirements
    Many companies encourage or even require employees to participate in community service. Kiwanis provides structured, meaningful volunteer opportunities that can fulfill those hours—plus, it looks great on performance reviews and annual evaluations. Ask us about our corporate memberships!
  2. Have Something That’s Yours Outside the House
    Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, a remote worker, or simply someone looking for personal time, Kiwanis offers a space where you can contribute to the world beyond your household responsibilities and build a sense of individual identity and purpose.
  3. Build Friendships While Doing Good
    While the meetings are focused on service projects and planning, there’s a strong social component. Over time, working alongside the same people builds real connections, and many members say they’ve found lifelong friends through our club.
  4. Make a Tangible Impact in Your Community
    Whether you’re organizing a food drive, helping with a scholarship program, or supporting local schools, Kiwanis gives you a front-row seat to see the difference you’re making in real lives.
  5. Develop and Showcase Leadership Skills
    Take on leadership roles in the club, from organizing events to serving as an officer. These roles build confidence and are great for personal and professional development.
  6. Network with People from Diverse Backgrounds
    Kiwanis brings together individuals from various professions, age groups, and walks of life. It’s a great way to expand your network in a setting built on trust and shared values.
  7. Involve Your Family in Service
    Many clubs offer opportunities to include your spouse, kids, or grandkids in events. It’s a positive way to model community service and spend quality time together.
  8. Gain a Sense of Purpose and Fulfillment
    When you’re part of a club that exists solely to serve others, it can bring deep personal satisfaction. It feels good to know your time and effort are helping real people in need.
  9. Learn More About Local Issues and Resources
    You’ll stay informed about what’s happening in your city—schools, nonprofits, youth programs, and more—through guest speakers and projects. It’s a great way to feel connected and informed.
  10. Have Fun While Giving Back
    Service projects often come with laughter, stories, and shared meals. Kiwanis members work hard, but they also enjoy the process—whether it’s flipping pancakes at a fundraiser or dressing up for a themed event.
