No single organization can solve the tremendous challenges facing children worldwide. That’s one reason Kiwanis International has joined in a memorandum of understanding with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to foster, nurture, and establish a legacy of serving children, a cornerstone mission for both organizations. If you don’t already have a relationship with a Kiwanis club or a Boys & Girls Club, now’s a great time to explore opportunities to work together to benefit area children.
How can you start your partnership?
1. Find a club.
Locate a Boys & Girls Club or Kiwanis club near you.
2. Contact a club leader.
Kiwanis members should reach out to a Boys & Girls Club director. Boys & Girls club directors can speak with a Kiwanis club president or secretary. Just give the director or board member a call and set up a meeting. When you meet with your partner at a Boys & Girls club or Kiwanis club, talk about what you do and explore how you can work together. If for any reason you need help getting in touch with a Kiwanis club, give Kiwanis International a call at 1-800-549-2647 (ext. 411).
