What is K-Kids?

K-Kids is the newest and fastest growing service organization for elementary students worldwide.  These clubs are ideally suited for students in grades 1 through 5 (ages 6 to 12).

K-Kids is a "student-led" community-service organization, which operates under school regulations and draws its members from the student body.  

K-Kids clubs can also be established in a community-based organization.  Such organizations might include, but are not limited to: community library, Boys Club, Girls Club, YMCA, YWCA, or a church.

K-Kids is unique because it's sponsored by a local Kiwanis club, composed of leading business and professional people of the community.


 The K-Kids' motto is "We Build," and its objectives are:
  • To provide opportunities for working together in service to school and community.

  • To develop leadership potential.

  • To foster and development of strong moral character.

  • To encourage loyalty to school, community, and nation.
