Kiwanis clubs view their role within their respective communities with a significant amount of foresight. Key aspects to operating an effective club include: |
|
|
- Evaluating both children’s issues and community needs
- Conducting service projects to respond to those identified needs
- Maintaining an active membership roster of community-minded people who have both the desire and the ability to serve
