Core Pillars of Campaign Platform

A large mural painted on an outdoor wall displays the word "TOGETHER" in bold white capital letters, surrounded by vibrant splashes and streaks of colorful paint including blue, pink, yellow, and purple, creating an expressive and energetic background.

Membership & Engagement

Goal: Build a family-centered community through meaningful engagement and connection.

Scrabble-style wooden letter tiles are scattered on a wooden surface, with the word "LEADER" clearly spelled out in the center among the random letters.

Leadership Development & Education

Goal: Cultivate diverse, confident, and caring Kiwanis leaders.

A brown doormat with black lettering reads "COME AS YOU ARE." It is placed in front of white-painted brick steps, and a person wearing black boots stands just behind the mat on a concrete surface.

Community Impact

Goal: Strengthen service projects and prioritize youth well-being.

A lightbox sign on a dark surface reads "LOVE > MONEY" in black letters. Surrounding the sign are scattered coins on the left and pastel-colored candy hearts on the right, visually reinforcing the message that love is greater than money.

Financial Viability & Capacity Building

Support long-term growth through infrastructure and innovation.

Branding & Image

Goal: Strengthen Kiwanis' image through storytelling and digital engagement
