Standing Committees

Community Services
This committee should implement projects on the arts, business affairs, citizenship, civic improvement, community beautification, conservation, health, international understanding, literacy, public affairs, safety or help for senior citizens and disabled persons. Popular projects include Special Olympics, Meals on Wheels, issues forums and others listed below. 

Read Around the World Sub-committee
Every child should experience the joy of reading. Kiwanis members believe this, and have long been dedicated to Kiwanis’ Read Around the World program. But reading projects deserve more than a monthlong observance. That’s why Kiwanis International now urges the entire Kiwanis family to implement Read Around the World projects throughout the entire year.
More reading projects touch more kids’ lives. What can you do? Read to children. Then give them books they can cherish again and again.



Game plan
Kiwanis One Day is your club’s chance to make a difference in your community and the world. Here are tips and tools to help you choose your club’s One Day project and get it off the ground. Remember—Kiwanis One Day is not only an opportunity to conduct meaningful service, it’s a way to draw attention to Kiwanis and your club, which will help you make an impact in your community throughout the year.

Young Children:Priority One Sub-committee
Young Children: Priority One (YCPO), an ongoing service program of Kiwanis International, addresses the needs of young children. All clubs are encouraged to carry out at least two YCPO projects per calendar year, though many clubs are able to do more—helping children, families, and communities.
Before beginning a project:
  • Determine the most relevant and important issues affecting youth in its community.
  • Conduct a community needs analysis and discuss options with club and community leaders.
  • Identify your club’s skill set and how you can make a measurable impact. Projects should strike a nice balance between resources, time, and energy. For example, while some club members can work weekly on a project, others can only devote an afternoon a month. Consider identifying projects that appeal to all your members.]


Service Leadership Programs Sub-committee
This group shall devise ways and means to establish and support Kiwanis Kids programs in elementary schools, Builders Clubs in junior high or middle school, Key Clubs in high schools, Circle K International clubs in the universities and colleges and Aktion Clubs for adults with disabilities. It should encourage and promote the activities of all SLP clubs sponsored by the club. The committee should include the Kiwanis club advisors to sponsored SLP clubs.
