The Kiwanis Club of NYC Young Professionals, Inc. is a group of individuals who are interested in community service and networking. The club was formed in 2001 and members include professionals from several different fields (finance, arts, education, legal, government, non-profit, insurance, health, etc.) We formally hold club meetings once a month. In addition, we perform one or two varied and interesting service projects each month and try to remain flexible to accommodate everyone’s busy schedule. Although our current membership is young in age, we are looking for members of any age who are “young at heart.”
What is Kiwanis you ask? We’re a proud part of Kiwanis International and the NY District and work to build a better future through partnership with our sponsored youth organizations like Key Club and Circle K (a college service group–not the convenience store). We live out our mission: Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Our club also strives to build on our Kiwanis Vision as well: Kiwanis will 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.
To learn more about our organization, please take some time to look at our club website; however, the best way to learn about our Kiwanis Club is to attend one of our club meetings, service projects, or social events in person!
If you are visiting the New York City metropolitan area, we invite you to come and visit us! You can participate in one of our several service projects, attend our club meetings, or come and have fun at our membership/social events. If at all possible, please let us know if you are planning to come to one of our events. We welcome all Kiwanians around the world.
If you would like to come (and perhaps be a guest speaker), please let us know in advance. We have had several visitors from Kiwanis clubs all over the USA and the world, as well as guest speakers from various non-profit service organizations in the New York City area.
If you are interested in making a difference in your community, Kiwanis may be the right organization for you. If you live or work in the New York City area, feel free to stop by at our next dinner meeting and get involved! We welcome all prospective members, whether you have previously been involved in Kiwanis sponsored organizations or not
