Service Leadership

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 Kiwanis Club of Minisink Valley sponsors two K-Kids clubs:

K-Kids Club of Otisville Elementary School

K-Kids Club of Minisink Valley Intermediate School

If you are or have a child who is in grades 3 through 5 and interested in becoming a member please contact us at [email protected]

Builders Club

Builders Club is the largest service organization for middle school and junior high students (ages 12-14) in the world. Currently there are more than 40,000 members world wide.

The first Builders Club was chartered in 1975. Today there are more than 2,000 clubs in Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe, the Philippines, the Pacific and the United States. New York has members in 65 Builders Clubs, sponsored by 54 Kiwanis Clubs. This age group (12-14) is perfect for the Kiwanis Family. First, the young people are too young for jobs, too young to drive, they have time to help their community, they think they are adults, only “No one will let me prove it!” WE in KIWANIS will let them prove they are able to behave like adults through Builders Clubs. Builders Clubs are “student-led” organizations that teach hands on leadership skills through service to others. Give these kids a chance and they will outshine adults every time. This age knows no limits. They think in terms of what they can do, not what they can not do.
