Kids Need Kiwanis
We are a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.
Serving the Children of the World
Kids need adults who care. That’s why people join Kiwanis clubs. They’re local groups of like-minded volunteers who make a difference. Friends, neighbors, anyone who loves serving together to change children’s lives. In fact, Kiwanians are part of a global network of clubs and members who partner with each other and with organizations whose missions align with ours. All around the world — and in communities like yours — Kiwanis International is serving the kids who need us most.

We Believe In Community
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 $100 million every year for communities. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
Founded in 1994 under the leadership of Kiwanis International and PA District (Division 16), the Kiwanis Club of Lititz Area supports a number of children-focused organizations.
The Kiwanis Club of Lititz Area is proud to sponsor the Key Club at both Linden Hall and Manheim Township High School.
The Kiwanis Objectives
- 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.
