Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.


About

The primary purpose of the Kiwanis Club of Olds is to improve the quality of life for children and families in our community, by giving children the chance to learn, grow and thrive.

Vision Statement

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.

Motto

Serving the children of the world.

The Kiwanis Objectives

To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.


To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.

 

To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards.

 

To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

 

To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service and to build better communities.

 

To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism and goodwill.
