What is Builders?

Builders Club is a coeducational service organization that provides young people in junior high and middle school the opportunity to help others, serve their school and community, and build a positive future for themselves.

These young students develop and carry out service projects for their school and community. They may also participate in fund-raising projects and use the money earned to support a local charity or school concern.

Builders Clubs elect their own officers, hold regular meetings, and establish their own committees. Projects suggested by members are conducted under the supervision and cooperation of you, the faculty advisor, school administrator, and sponsoring Kiwanis club.

The History of Builders Club

Kiwanis International hasdedicated itself to community service for 80 years. Schools have been a vital part of that interest, and much concern has been focused upon the development of youth and the direction of their energies into worthwhile activities.

In 1975, Kiwanis International expanded its family of youth programs to include Builders Club.Builders Club is the youngest member of the Kiwanis family. Kiwanis International considers Builders Club an important service project. The support provided to these youth members by local Kiwanis members is a practical extension of the objectives of the international organization.
