Indiana District of Kiwanis International

WELCOME

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.

Message from the District Governor

TERRY WHITE

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Indiana District of Kiwanis website.

We are very excited about our new “look” and structure of the website. The Indiana District of Kiwanis encompasses the entire geographic area of the state of Indiana and includes over 7800 Kiwanis members. The district currently has over 210 clubs Kiwanis clubs, and many Service Leadership Clubs. Service Leaders Clubs are comprised of young people throughout our district. We have Kiwanis Kids for elementary aged children, Builders Clubs for intermediate and junior high, Key Clubs in high schools, Circle K on college campuses and Aktion clubs for our mentally and physically challenged adults. As you can see, we truly are a Kiwanis Family. We exist to be a part of a global organization of volunteers that are dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.

Our clubs focus on the needs of their individual communities and provide service that will make the biggest impact on their own areas. We have one project that unites the entire Indiana District and that is an annual fundraising project for Riley Hospital for children. We are committed to support Riley hospital and each year the members of this district join together to raise over $250,000 for the children at Riley.
If you are a member of the Indiana District of Kiwanis Family then thank you for all that you do to help make a difference in your club and in your community.
