Ready to help children and families in your community? Ready to change the world? Kiwanis is ready for you! Altogether, more than 7,000 Kiwanis clubs make Kiwanians a powerful force for serving children and changing lives.
WHO JOINS KIWANIS
Kiwanis club members believe in service. They care about children. They’re interested in the community around them because the community matters to them. They’re people like you. Friends. Neighbors. Volunteers who want to make a difference. And they love to see the difference they make when they work together.
BENEFITS OF JOINING
Study after study shows that volunteering with an organization like Kiwanis does more than make people feel good. Volunteering enhances social networks, improves mental health and contributes to higher levels of happiness, self-esteem, self-worth and life satisfaction. Volunteers develop life skills and leadership abilities that can lead to employment opportunities.
KIDS NEED KIWANIS
Kiwanis is the safety net that creates opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live.
Kiwanis is a positive influence in locations worldwide with a dream that all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.

Our final tip from this week's series: If you find, after reflection, that your anger was the result of an injustice that needs to be resolved, channel that emotion into a solution, says Ryan Martin, professor of psychology and the associate dean for the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. “You can channel it into art or music. You can write letters to the editor. You can (peacefully) protest. There are a lot of things we can do that are healthy.”

Knowing how to properly process emotions sets an example for kids. “The control adults need to exhibit and have these days is really not so much control of the environment as it is self-control,” stresses Laura Beth Moss, founder of Growth Central Training and co-director of Growth Central, an organization that brings awareness to and education about anger, aggression and crisis. “We have to show kids what it’s like to step away from this stuff, to be OK with that, to think that’s valuable.”
Want to lower tension during a discussion? Focus on dialogue, not debate. Enter a conversation with curiosity about the other person’s viewpoint. “Rather than sharing stats and slogans, try sharing a story,” suggests Tania Israel, a professor in the department of counseling, clinical and school psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “People are interested in hearing stories about other people. We can really then create more of an understanding and connection, and even find commonalities or points of agreement.”
