Hello and welcome to the Kansas Kiwanis District Website.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.

In the Kansas District there are 88 clubs that make a difference in their communities and especially children. Children are priority one in all Kiwanis clubs. Our hope is to dedicate ourselves to help children be a better persons, become leaders and learn about service.

Kiwanis International is unmatched in programs offering opportunities for young people to grow in leadership skills, experience the joy of serving others and learn more about themselves, their communities and the world. Clubs in the Kansas District support K-Kids clubs (for elementary students), Builders clubs (for middle school students), Key clubs (for high school students), Circle K clubs (for students in college) and Aktion clubs (for adults with disabilities).

Our clubs support other worthy projects in their communities as well as the new Victory Junction Camp that will be built in the Kansas City Kansas area. This is a state wide project and Kansas has committed to build a cabin to house some of the Victory Junction participants.

Because Kiwanis is an International organization we support the Eliminate Project. This worldwide project partners Kiwanis with Unicef to work to eliminate neonatal tetanus around the world.

Contact a Kiwanis club near you to get involved in your community and to serve children.

May is Membership Month Hello Kiwanians. I am sure you know, or if you don’t, May is Membership Month. Every member can make an impact by inviting just one person to join their club. More hands, more service. Think of your club doubling the size it is now. Could you imagine the kids that would benefit and your community with just more opportunities? So let’s get started in the Kansas District. Let’s start with the top ten simple ways to grow membership. (10) Order free information from Kiwanis to handout and make sure you have sku #9000 with the membership application already in it. (9) Have a normal meeting and talk about Kiwanis. What you do at the local level, district level, international level. (8) Talk or show a video on Victory Junction and the Eliminate program. (7) Have one of your SLP programs come in and do the meeting. (6) Offer them a free meal. (5) Have fun at your meeting and who doesn’t right? -especially Kiwanians. (4) Give them your brochure about your club or website address with the KS District website http:/kskiwanis.org. (3) Tell them your Kiwanis Story (2) Have a new member orientation with all of your new members (1) Engage all members.

What if you could save a baby's life? With The Eliminate Project, you can. Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one baby every nine minutes. But three doses of a 60-cent vaccine can protect mothers and babies. Kiwanis and UNICEF have joined forces to bring this vaccine to 38 countries, eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. What can you do right now? Learn about MNT and advocate for the cause. Participate in our fundraisers. Over the next few years, the work we do will change the world.
