What is K-Kids?

 

K-Kids is the youngest 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.
