K kids: Members | Kiwanis Kids
Frequently Asked Questions | Kiwanis Kids
What are the benefits of K-Kids membership?
Involvement in K-Kids provides the opportunity to develop self-esteem, leadership skills, morals and standards and respect for others. This program involves elementary students, their parents, teachers and Kiwanis members in developing a character education opportunity as well as exposure to the concepts of community service and service learning.
Members learn that their opinions and ideas count, and that they can be productive members of society. They form sound personal values and experience satisfaction in knowing they did something to help improve the world around them. K-Kids members learn to work together as a group and yet be strong individually.
How do I join?
K-Kids membership is open to any student who desires to become a leader in his/her school and community and wishes to provide service to others. Let the K-Kids club advisor at your school know that you’re interested in participating. If your school doesn’t have a K-Kids club – start one.
How many members are needed to start a K-Kids club?
There is not a set minimum number of members, but it is suggested that 15 students participate. This gives the club a good, strong start!
How much time do K-Kids clubs take?
Clubs meet as often as they choose, according to their own requirements. Each club is run independently and can adapt to the needs of members, advisors and sponsors. The club you sponsor will set its own meeting times and plan its own projects and activities.
What are the responsibilities of the Kiwanis club to the K-Kids club?
Appoint a representative advisor to the club and ensure he/she receives adequate orientation/training. Kiwanis advisors to any sponsored Service Leadership Program will be required to have a criminal background check conducted and verified by Kiwanis International.
- Ensure the advisor attends every meeting.
- Maintain an expense line item in the organization budget to support the activities of the club.
- Meet with the school principal or organization manager before the beginning of the school year.
- Pay the annual K-Kids club fee to Kiwanis International.
- Ensure club officers receive proper training following election.
- Hold a planning session involving the leadership of the Kiwanis club/sponsoring organization and the K-Kids club officers.
- Host or participate in two joint activities involving the membership of the club and sponsoring organization.
- Invite K-Kids club members to attend Kiwanis/sponsoring organization meetings.
- Ensure K-Kids club members are provided training opportunities beyond the club level.
How much does it cost to start a K-Kids club?
The cost to charter can vary from $180 to $300 depending on geographic location. The cost to renew every year is $180.
What do I receive in the program kit when I charter or renew my K-Kids club?
K-Kids clubs receive a program kit upon chartering, and annually as they renew.
The kit includes essential tools such as an advisor guide, member handbooks, buttons and more.
What if the club is unable to secure a faculty advisor?
If the club is unable to find a faculty member to serve as a club advisor a parent can volunteer to serve in this role. The parent will need to meet volunteer requirements established by the school and have the approval of the principal.
Is there K-Kids club branded merchandise available for purchase?
Absolutely. The Kiwanis store offers a variety of K-Kids branded merchandise.
What if a club member is injured during a club meeting or event?
Club members who are included on the club’s official membership roster are covered by Kiwanis International liability insurance. Learn more about this K-Kids membership benefit.

Start a Club | Kiwanis Kids
K-Kids is a student-led service club for students in elementary/primary school. K-Kids was originally developed by, and is modeled after, Kiwanis International, a global network of men and women devoted to serving the children of the world. The stated purpose of K-Kids is to develop leadership through service to the school and community.
Clubs are chartered in partnership with a Kiwanis club and a school or community-based organization serving elementary school students. Use the Kiwanis club locator to find a Kiwanis club near you and complete a petition to charter. A sponsoring Kiwanis club pays the initial chartering fee for K-Kids clubs, which can vary from US$180 to US$300 depending on geographic location.
K-Kids is open to any elementary school student who wants to join. Each club and school principal or community-based organization leader has the latitude to set conditions for membership, so it varies from club to club.
Generally, any student who is interested in performing community service may join K-Kids.
A Key Club (a service club for high school students) or a Circle K club (a service club for college or university students) may also co-sponsor a K-Kids club.
When a school or community-based organization has agreed to build a K-Kids club with a Kiwanis club, it’s time to get started! A complete set of chartering materials can be found online in our K-Kids club chartering toolkit. This information will assist the Kiwanis and school or community center advisors in chartering the K-Kids club with Kiwanis International.
If at one time your elementary/primary school or community-based organization serving elementary students had a K-Kids club, you may be eligible to reactivate it rather than charter a new club. To find out if your club is eligible for reactivation, contact the Kiwanis International member services team at 1-800-549-2647 ext. 411 or email *protected email*.
A sponsoring Kiwanis club pays the initial chartering fee for K-Kids clubs, which can vary from US$180 to US$300 depending on geographic location.
To find out how much it would cost to charter a K-Kids club at your primary/elementary school or community-based organization serving elementary students, contact the Kiwanis International member services team at 1-800-549-2647 ext. 411 or email *protected email*.
Every year thereafter, a sponsoring Kiwanis club pays an annual renewal fee of US $215. The renewal fee will be included on the Kiwanis club’s invoice in the online reporting system. For K-Kids without a sponsoring Kiwanis club, the club is billed directly on an annual basis. This fee provides a program kit with club and member materials.
There is no dues structure for K-Kids, unless adopted by the local club. If your club chooses to collect member dues, establish that expectation – including the amount – in your club bylaws. Aim to keep these dues at a minimal amount so that no member is prohibited from joining. Plan to use those funds for club-level projects and expenses.
K-Kids clubs receive a program kit annually.
The kit includes essential tools such as an advisor guide, member handbooks, buttons and more. View samples of materials included in the program kit on the club advisor page. Sponsoring Kiwanis clubs are able to update the membership counts and shipping addresses for the program prior to the shipment of the kits. Instructions are emailed to the Kiwanis club secretary and can also be found online at kkids.org/renewal.
For K-Kids clubs without a sponsoring Kiwanis club, the faculty adivsors can update the membership counts prior to the shipment of the kits by contacting the Kiwanis International member services team at 1-800-549-2647 ext. 411 or email *protected email*.
Confirming the number of K-Kids club members prior to registering online is helpful as program kits include supplies for up to 50 K-Kids members. If additional materials are needed, a supplemental program kit can be ordered at the time of registration. Supplemental program kits include member materials for 25 additional members.
Visit the Club Renewal Center for more information.
If the correct member count was not provided at the time of registration, the K-Kids club member count can be adjusted by e-mailing the club name and club ID number with the updated membership count to the Kiwanis Member Services team at *protected email*.
