Objects of
Kiwanis
The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis
International were approved by Kiwanis club delegates at
the 1924 Convention in Denver, Colorado. Through the succeeding
decades, they have remained unchanged.
-
To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather
than to the material values of life.
-
To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in
all human relationships.
-
To promote the adoption and the application of
higher social, business, and professional
standards.
-
To develop, by precept and example, a more
intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable
citizenship.
-
To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical
means to form enduring friendships, to render
altruistic service, and to build better
communities.
-
To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound
public opinion and high idealism which make
possible the increase of righteousness, justice,
patriotism, and goodwill.
