Kiwanis is a global organization of member-volunteers working to change the world, one child and one community at a time!

Kiwanis International is an international, coeducational service club founded in 1915. It is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Current membership is 240,000 members in 7,700 clubs in 80 nations. The average age is 57; the membership is 74% men and 26% women. The name “Kiwanis” was coined from an Otchipew American Indian expression, "Nunc Kee-wanis", variously translated as "we trade," "we share our talents," "we make a noise," or "we meet." The organization's founders translated it as "We build," which became the original motto of Kiwanis. The current motto is "Serving the Children of the World". Members of the club are called Kiwanians. Kiwanis International is headed by a Board of Trustees, an International President and other officers. These officers are elected at the annual convention of Kiwanis International. There are fifty three administrative districts, each headed by a Governor, and the districts are further divided into service areas called divisions, comprising 12 to 20 clubs and headed by a Lieutenant Governor. Every club has a president and board of directors.
