The Wethersfield K-Kids Club Advisor, Laura Evans, said, “This year’s K-Kids is one of the biggest groups of students Wethersfield K-Kids has had. They are very involved in our club!”
According to the Kiwanis K-Kids webpage, K-Kids is one of the largest service organizations for elementary school students. There are nearly 23,000 members worldwide, and there are more than 988 clubs worldwide.
First chartered in 2000, “K-Kids is a student-led community service organization that operates under school regulations and draws its members from the student body. Community-based K-Kids clubs also can be established at churches, libraries, YMCAs, lodges or similar facilities. A Kiwanis club, composed of like-minded, service-oriented people from the community, serves as the club’s sponsor.” Find more information on Kiwanis K-Kids here.
