Overview

Mission

Kiwanis youth programs is a subsidiary of kiwanis international and exists to deliver programs for k-12 students to provide community service, build character and develop leadership. Kiwanis youth programs (kyp) prides itself on providing more than 12 million hours of service to their homes, schools, and communities. Projects range from assisting shut-ins to tutoring elementary school students. The organization partners with the us fund for unicef during halloween for the annual trick-or-treat for unicef which annually brings more than $250,000. Brands and programs that are part of kyp include: key club (for high school students), builders club (for middle school students), k kids (for elementary school students), and key leader (high school leadership workshop).

What it reported doing in 2024

Builders club (bc) and k-kids (kk) - another focus of kiwanis youth programs(kyp) is leadership education and development for students in middle school (builders club) and elementary schools (k-kids). Through the many efforts of staff, the training meetings, and the educational materials produced, the students are provided an opportunity to learn life-long service leadership skills. Members of builders club (bc) and k-kids (kk) learn such skills by performing community service activities through their local clubs and sponsoring kiwanis club, working as officers and members of their local clubs, working with other adults in sponsoring kiwanis clubs, and receiving leadership and service materials provided by the international organization. Many materials and education meetings help to walk students through the steps of service leadership in order to envision, enlist, embody, empower, evaluate, and encourage students that true leadership is based on servant leadership, which requires leaders to put the needs of others first, and to realize that no matter whether or not you have a title, there is always a need for service to one another and to the world. Many bc and kk programs take members through activities and service projects together - gaining hands-on experience with other service-minded adults. Bc and kk continues to be a leading organization in youth development in middle schools and elementary schools and a large portion of that development is the creation and distribution of handbooks and manuals. Bc and kk provides a member handbook and guide for all officers of each of their clubs as well as additional resources that help with producing successful meetings and community and school service projects. All materials distributed to members have the purpose to educate members on the importance of service leadership and performing charitable services to the local, school, and global communities. Two programs that k-kids has developed that are communicated to members and implemented in the k-kids clubs are "bring up grades" (bug) and "terrific kids" (tk).

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
