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.
The K-Kids' pledge:
"As a K-Kid, I promise to serve my neighborhood and my school; I
will show respect toward my environment; and I will try to make the world
a better place in which to live."
The K-Kids' motto is "We Build," and its objectives are:
-
To provide opportunities for working together in service to school
and community.
-
To develop leadership potential.
-
To foster and development of strong moral character.
-
To encourage loyalty to school, community, and nation.
Two publications describing the K-Kids program are available for viewing
on the Web site in pdf format, in the Forms
and Literature section of this site.
