Kiwanis helps kids around the world. Our Kiwanis club looks out for our community and the Kiwanis international organization takes on large-scale challenges, such as fighting disease and poverty. Our Kiwanis club is generous with its time. We are creative with our ideas. We are passionate about making a difference. And we have fun along the way!
For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.
The Kiwanis Mission & Vision
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Kiwanis strives to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive. Our Kiwanis club fulfills the Kiwanis mission by serving our community through Kiwanis Community Service Projects.
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.
Object 1 – To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.
Object 2 – To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
Object 3 – To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards.
Object 4 – To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.
Object 5 – To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
Object 6 – To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
Kiwanis Service
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 US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
Our Kiwanis club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child in our community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, many clubs sponsor a Kiwanis family club — K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; Circle K clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities.

Recent guest speakers at Kiwanis were Julie Hutchinson and Jodi Conkel who provided us with information about the Scioto County Prosecutor’s Office's Special Victim’s Unit. Julie (left) is Chief Assistant and Special Victims Prosecutor for the Prosecutor's Office, and Jodi (right) is Special Victims Detective Sergeant for the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office.

The unit investigates mostly child victim crimes, but it also addresses crimes against elderly and other vulnerable populations such as handicapped individuals.
Thank you so much to these special ladies who have devoted their lives to protect the vulnerable victims of our county. To contact the victim assistance program, call 740-355-8215. ... See MoreSee Less
Dr. Ron Miller served as a recent guest speaker. He is pictured with Kiwanis President Jamie Colley.
Dr. Miller noted that with a little self-care, we can make a real impact on our health and longevity. "Ninety percent of our disease processes that we work with can be cured with diet and exercise," he said.
He practices with SOMC Primary Care Associates located at 1611 27th Street, Fulton Building, 2nd Floor, in Portsmouth. His office number is 740-356-5743. ... See MoreSee Less
