Kiwanis is a philosophy based on some of the core values that form the foundation of our movement and that sets us apart from all other associations!
These core values were written 100 years ago and, in the world we live in, are more current today than ever.
At Kiwanis, we believe that true value lies in human and spiritual development. Respect, empathy and cooperation are central – always above material gain or personal ambition.
The basis of our operation is simple but powerful:
“Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.“
This universal rule is at the heart of our commitment, in every contact and action.
We are committed to honesty, transparency and integrity – both in our work and in our dealings with one another. We encourage our members to be role models in their daily lives.
Words are important, but actions make the difference. Through concrete actions, we want to have a positive impact on our environment and on the future of children everywhere.
.Within Kiwanis we build lasting friendships, based on trust and shared values. Together we selflessly dedicate ourselves to others – that is our strength.
We believe in honest ideals such as justice, solidarity, patriotism and good will. These values connect us, and inspire us to build a warmer, more connected society together.
Our values are at the heart of everything we do at Kiwanis. We bring them to life every day through our social projects and activities, as well as in the way we work together and connect people.
