The Kiwanis Club of Scottsdale Airpark
"SERVING THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD"


Kiwanis International is a thriving organization of service- and community-minded individuals who support children and young adults around the world.

Kiwanis members are unified in their belief that children and their communities benefit from the efforts of caring and involved volunteers.

Kiwanis clubs:

Perform community assessments to identify and prioritize children’s issues and community needs

Develop and conduct service projects to respond to these needs

Maintain an active membership roster of professional business people who have both the desire and the ability to serve the community in which they work and/or live

Commitment
Members give as much time as their schedules allow. In addition to attending a weekly meeting, they volunteer to assist with the club's service projects. These projects will either address a community need or support an established Kiwanis program. Through their dedication and service, Kiwanis members leave a lasting impression on their communities and on future generations.

I think volunteering is an obligation we all have. My Kiwanis membership enables me to be active in the place I live and not passively letting life happen around me.

Hopefully, I'm helping to change the future."
