Welcome to the Michigan District of Kiwanis International, the birthplace of Kiwanis International. Since January 1915, we have been serving the children and communities of Michigan. We are a diverse mix of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds and interests, all working together to make the world a better place for children so they can thrive. Whether we are working on one of our many service projects to fill the unique needs of our local cities and towns or putting the “fun” in fundraising, we are always building a community of service that will have an enduring impact as we support our future leaders.
What is Kiwanis?
We are a global family of service organizations. Led by our adult Kiwanis clubs, we support high school students in service through Key Clubs, junior high students with Builders Clubs, elementary students through K-Kids, our collegiate leaders through CKI, and adults with disabilities with Aktion Clubs. Through this family of service organizations, we are able to bring every generation together to make the world a better place and ensure that today’s children will grow up to be tomorrow’s service leaders.
Who is a Kid?
Kiwanis is 600,000 kids at heart doing what it takes to help kids around the world… because Kids Need Kiwanis.

Get ready to SOCK IT TO ’EM! Our division-wide SOCK fundraiser runs from October 31 through December 31, 2026, giving us plenty of time to share, sell, and spread some holiday fun!
We’re Starting with SOCKSGIVING!
We’ll kick off our fundraiser with SOCKSGIVING—a fun way to add some warmth, personality, and Kiwanis spirit to Thanksgiving while raising funds for our clubs and communities.
The Lt. Governors have everything you need to get started! They have the fundraising information, flyers, promotional materials, and details to help your club jump right in.
Share. Sell. SOCK IT!
Get your club involved, share the fundraiser with family and friends, and spread the word far and wide.
