Kiwanis International was founded in 1915 by a group of businessmen in Detroit, Michigan. The organization was originally called the Supreme Lodge Benevolent Order of Brothers, but changed its name to Kiwanis a year later.
Kiwanis became an international organization with the founding of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in 1916. Kiwanis clubs formed in communities across the United States and Canada until the 1960s, when worldwide expansion was approved. Today, Kiwanis Clubs are helping children thrive, prosper and grow in nearly 80 nations and geographic locations.
The Michigan District is excited to host the first Kiwanis Fall Community Engagement Summit! This summit is a day designed to spark ideas, share best practices, and strengthen the ways we serve our communities. It is an opportunity to connect with and learn from fellow community organizations such as MSUFCU Desk Drawer Foundation, Saddleback BBQ, MSU Nonprofit Leadership & Global Cultures Program, and Ray Media Creative to name a few!
We’ll be bringing together community leaders, partners, and fellow Kiwanians to explore what meaningful engagement looks like today—both inside and outside our clubs. You’ll leave with practical tools, new connections, and fresh inspiration to take back home.
We encourage you and your members to attend this exciting and inspiring event! Tickets are on sale now for $65. Reserve your seat by this Monday, November 17 and save $25 on the registration fee!
Is your club looking for community engagement ideas and community networking? You are invited to join fellow Kiwanians and other community organizations in a NEW Community Engagement Summit in Lansing on November 22. Book your ticket now before prices go up next week! k12.site.kiwanis.org/fall-community-engagement-summit-2025... See MoreSee Less
