About our Kiwanis club

The KIWANIS CLUB OF LONGMONT was chartered as one of 7,700 clubs in 80 countries in 1926. Our motto is “Serving the Children of the World”.

The Kiwanis Club of Longmont was Chartered on October 21, 1926 with a charter membership of 34 members.  Our club was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Boulder, Colorado.  There were over 400 guests in attendance including members of The Rotary Club, Lions Club, Elks Lodge, Masonic Lodge, Odd Fellows Lodge, Woodmen of the World, American Legion and the Knights of Columbus Council.

Kiwanis helps kids around the world. Our Kiwanis club looks out for our community and the Kiwanis international organization takes on large-scale challenges, such as fighting disease and poverty. Our Kiwanis club is generous with its time. We are creative with our ideas. We are passionate about making a difference. And we have fun along the way!

Since that night the Kiwanis Club of Longmont has been a vital part of our community, working with our youth building a better place to live. 

For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.

The Kiwanis Mission & Vision

Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Kiwanis strives to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive. Our Kiwanis club fulfills the Kiwanis mission by serving our community through Kiwanis Community Service Projects

Kiwanis Service

Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.

Our Kiwanis club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child in our community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, many clubs sponsor a Kiwanis family club — K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; Circle K clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities.
