What is K-Kids?
K-Kids is an international elementary school service organization sponsored through Kiwanis International. Their motto is "We Build" and they focus on working together to serve their schools/communities, developing leadership skills, moral character, and encouraging loyalty to school, community and nation.
My favorite K-Kids Memory:
During my term as a Key Club Lieutenant Governor, I had the privilege of a personal connection with a local K-Kids member. One could say, a Kiwanis "family" connection. My little brother was a member of the Hillside K-Kids Club in Ashburn, Virginia. My favorite memory of K-Kids was the Liver Life Walk that encouraged my brother to join K-Kids! We got to work together in a Kiwanis Family "two-fold" with our parents and our local Kiwanis Family members to raise money for the American Liver Foundation!
Our Kiwanis Family members and my biological family members at the Liver Life Walk!
Learn their 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
How does my club get involved?
-Your club can co-sponsor a club with your local Kiwanis Club
-You can start a BUG program at a local elementary school (BUG information coming later this month)
-Start a Terrific Kids program at a local elementary school (Terrific Kids also coming later this month!)
