There are six branches of the Kiwanis Family: Kiwanis, Circle K International, Key Club, Builders Club, Aktion Club, and K-Kids
Kiwanis is our sponsoring parent organization, which is made up of professional women and men. Kiwanis Clubs may sponsor or found any of the branches of the Kiwanis Family within their club's jurisdiction.
Circle K International (CKI) is the college student organization. We have about 13,000 members every year and growing.
Our very large Key Club siblings
in high school are the next youngest Kiwanis Family members. Key Club is the largest high school service organization, with over 210,000 members. It is located at more than 5,000 high school campuses, primarily in the United States and Canada.
Aktion Club is the newest member of the sponsored organizations at Kiwanis International. It is a community-service group for adult citizens who live with a disability. Aktion Club members strive to return to their communities the benefits, help, and caring they have received, as well as develop important skills in the process.
Builders Club involves younger kids in junior high school. Usually, this service group is made up of students in grades six through eight.
K-Kids involves all elementary school children and helps educate them on being good citizens and helping the world around them through small projects and field trips. VTCKI works with K-Kids of Margret Beeks Elementary School.
All of these branches come together for one cause-to better our world. We can work with local Kiwanis, Key Clubs, Builders Clubs; and K-Kids on service projects and events. No matter the age, there is a branch of the Kiwanis Family in which you can get involved!
