• Join the fight to end bullying

  October 23, 2012

  Millions of children worldwide have experienced bullying at school. Any bullying hurts a student’s self-esteem, but at its worst, bullying could lead to high anxiety, bad grades, dropping out of school or even suicide.

  The good news: As a Key Clubber, you can help.

  Key Club is taking a stand against bullying with the help of Kiwanis. Through service, you learn about the impact you can make on your community by giving, caring and sharing. Being in Key Club means you are a leader who can show your classmates how to create a safe, bully-free environment.
   
  Bully prevention also promotes Kiwanis-family values: serving the people around us, building better communities for ourselves and future generations, and showing others the importance of the Golden Rule.
   
  The first step: Read about Kiwanis’ position on bullying at www.kiwanis.org/bullyprevention. Then print out our anti-bullying posters, found on this page, and put them up around your school. Educate your peers about the effects of bullying—and why it should stop.
   
  Join the fight. End bullying.

• White House honored members of Kiwanis International as “Champions of Change”

  October 17, 2012

  On Friday, September 21, the White House welcomed 14 Kiwanis International members from across the U.S. for a daylong briefing and to recognize Kiwanis members as “Champions of Change.” The Champions of Change program was created by President Obama to honor ordinary Americans doing extraordinary work in their communities.
   
  These leaders demonstrate how Kiwanis International members have leveraged their national service experience to become influential in their careers and leaders in their communities. Each Kiwanis member had the opportunity to share their stories with Administration officials during this day-long event.
   
  Each week, a different sector is highlighted as groups of Champions, ranging from educators to entrepreneurs to community leaders, are recognized for the work they are doing to serve and strengthen their communities.

• Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF’s Create a Character contest

  October 12, 2012

  In much of North America, October is associated with the color orange. Pumpkins ripen, leaves turn every shade on the orange spectrum, and Trick-or-Treaters carry orange boxes collecting coins for UNICEF. But wait…this year’s Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF collection boxes are, well, white.

  That’s because you get to create your own! And not only for your own use, but to enter in the Create a Character contest. Design your own devil, dog, vampire or villain, take a photo of your creation and upload it to the contest site. Three winning designs will be used on the limited-edition 2013 Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF collection boxes.

  Put some extra effort into your decoration and you may just earn some extra donations. This year’s funds collected by Kiwanis-family clubs go directly to The Eliminate Project. So those coins you collect—which added up to more than US$600,000 last year—will save and protect mothers and babies from tetanus. Let’s beat last year’s total and save or protect more lives this year!
