We are WI-UM
We have no borders; there are no bridges, city limits, county lines that can’t be crossed to ensure that those in need are identified and helped.
The Wisconsin-Upper Michigan District of Kiwanis International is a group of volunteers dedicated to doing our part to change the world one child and one community at a time. Every day, our members perform countless hours of service within our communities through projects that address specific needs; such as building playgrounds, sponsoring youth sports activities, partnering with programs such as Childrens Miracle Network, Boys & Girls Clubs, and many others.
The International organization has clubs in more than 70 nations and has nearly 300,000 members. Kiwanis International stands alone in programs offering opportunities for young people to grow in leadership skills, experience the satisfaction of serving others while learning more about themselves, their communities and the world. Clubs in the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan District support K-Kids clubs (for elementary students), Builders clubs (for middle school students), Key Clubs (for high school students), Circle K clubs (for students in the college/university setting) and Aktion clubs (for adults with disabilities). It is truly an outstanding organization. And, I am honored to have the privilege of leading this great WI-UM District.
Membership in a Kiwanis club will give you the chance to meet local business people and concerned citizens. It will give you the opportunity to make hands-on improvements in your community. Please enjoy exploring our web site. We hope you will find many items of interest that spark a desire in you to act and join us.
If you are interested in learning more about the rewards of membership, you will find contact information in the District Leadership page of our website. Thank you for visiting.
