Kiwanis International History

·    Kiwanis was founded in Detroit, MI on January 21, 1915
·    In the early years, Kiwanis clubs focused on business networking, but even then, members were serving the needs of the poor.
· By 1919, the organization had changed its focus from business to service.
· Kiwanis became an international organization in 1916 with the organization of the  Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario.
· Kiwanis limited its membership to the United States and Canada until 1962 when  worldwide expansion was approved.
·    Until 1987, Kiwanis was a male-only organization. But after years of debate and growing support, women’s membership was received overwhelmingly
