How to Join

There are many things to consider when evaluating a service club and deciding if it is a good fit for you. The time commitment, the cost, the meeting date and location all are important factors, but first and most important; do you believe in the Mission of the organization and feel strongly about its program of work?

The Madison West Kiwanis Club, following the objects of Kiwanis International, has at its core a mission to help build a better world one child and one community at a time. This is reflected in our club projects, our scholarship program and in our grant selection criteria. As a club, we are very proud of the good we have accomplished over the past 50 years and we are looking for individuals who will not only carry on our traditions, but will bring their own passion and flavor to the club.

In addition to being a part of an organization dedicated to building a better community, there are numerous other benefits to joining the club. Our members are wonderful and welcoming individuals who over time have become close friends. We have a great time together, not only at meetings, but during our volunteer efforts. We have a strong base which includes many important community projects and a well-funded foundation which will ensure future relevancy. Finally, we are actively seeking NEW SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES and want members to bring good ideas to the table.
