What does membership mean Membership in a Kiwanis club connects a person with the community and other individuals he or she wouldn't otherwise know. Club members learn about developments and happenings in their community during their regular club gatherings. They also enjoy new social and business networking opportunities with the wide variety of members in their club. And, together, they combine their interests and skills to improve their community in ways that make a real impact in the lives of others, particularly children. Kiwanis is a voluntary organization.
Clubs choose their own members.
Each club selects its members from the surrounding community. Kiwanis clubs look for persons over 18 years old who are interested in their community and other people, and they seek members who can contribute four to six hours a month for club activities and projects. After paying an induction fee upon joining, each member pays annual dues, which are set by the club. Membership of the Kiwanis Club of Swift Current is by invitation. Prospective members are sponsored by existing members and, following approval by the Board of Directors, the prospective member is asked to join.
