Kiwanis club also sponsors three clubs for youth: Key Club, Builders Club and K-Kids. Key Club is the oldest and largest service organization for teens and teaches leadership through service to others. Builders Club provides students in their early teens with opportunities to develop leadership skills, improve self-esteem, increase civic engagement and learn life skills through service. K-Kids gives elementary school students opportunities to work together on service projects, develop leadership potent and create strong moral character. No two Kiwanis clubs look exactly the same. Each member’s and community’s needs are different, and each club should look different. The Lagrange club meets once a week, plus service projects regularly. Kiwanis members don’t just do service—they have fun. Members make new friends by being part of a club where they attend meetings and participate in social events. Kiwanis clubs also provide excellent networking opportunities for professionals. Members meet new people from all over the region and the world through service projects, fundraising and by attending district and international conventions.
