Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.
The Indiana District of Kiwanis was organized in South Bend on December 27, 1918 to serve the seven clubs in the state: Indianapolis, Lafayette, South Bend, Elkhart, Marion, Fort Wayne, and Evansville. Now over 90 years later, the Indiana District remains active with 24 divisions and 214 clubs.
Members in every corner of the state are committed to developing future generations of leaders through guidance and example. They are ordinary people performing extraordinary work in your community every day. From revitalizing neighborhoods to organizing youth sports programs, from tutoring to building playgrounds, Kiwanis willingly perform countless projects to help children.
DID YOU KNOW? During the 2007-08 Administrative year Indiana Kiwanis Clubs raised more than $278,000 for Riley Hospital for Children.
