Club History What is Kiwanis? Kiwanis is a worldwide service organization appealing to men and women who have the desire to become personally involved in making their communities better places in which to live. As a group, these people achieve what individuals cannot do alone. Working together, Kiwanians voluntarily share the challenge of community improvement and leadership. Although Kiwanis is a service organization, enduring friendships are created through the Kiwanis spirit of fellowhips that comes from a mutual effort devoted to great ends. The Name: The name "Kiwanis" is taken from the language of an Indian tribe which lived in the area where Kiwanis was founded. The original phrase was "Nun Keewanis," which means "self-expression" or "to make one self known." The Motto: The motto of Kiwanis is "Serving the Children of the World."
