The Capital District of Kiwanis International (composed of all the Kiwanis Clubs in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia) was organized on August 29, 1918 with only two clubs. Now, over 100 years later, the Capital District remains active with 5 regions, 16 divisions and over 150 clubs.
What is Kiwanis?
Kids need adults who care. That’s why people join Kiwanis clubs. They’re local groups of like-minded volunteers who make a difference. Friends. Neighbors. Anyone who loves serving together to change children’s lives. In fact, Kiwanians are part of a global network of clubs and members who partner with each other and with organizations whose missions align with ours. All around the world — and in communities like yours — Kiwanis International is serving the kids who need us most.
Today, we stand with more than 550,000 members from K-Kids to Key Club to Kiwanis and many ages in between in 80 countries and geographic areas. Each community has different needs, and Kiwanis empowers members to pursue creative ways to serve the needs of children, such as fighting hunger, improving literacy and offering guidance. Kiwanis clubs host nearly 150,000 service projects each year.
The 2026-27 District Committee for Key Leader needs your help!
Key Leader is a transformational weekend leadership program designed to help high school students discover what it means to lead with confidence, integrity, and purpose. We, as Kiwanians, have the opportunity to provide them with this powerful experience.
The Capital District’s Fall 2026 Key Leader weekend will be held November 13–15, 2026, at the Skelton 4-H Educational Conference Center in Wirtz, Virginia.
Here is how Kiwanians can help:
SHARE! Linked below are the website, and marketing materials that can be shared on social media or printed to take to schools. Please share with the students in your SLPs, family, church, and so on. Attendees do not have to be in Key Club to attend, so this is open to all high school students in VA, MD, WV, DC, and DE.
JOIN! The committee needs committee members to help with organizing, marketing, and recruiting as well as chaperones. If interested, please email chair Jeannette Ogilvie at [email protected] The first meeting will take place on Tuesday, September 22 at 7PM via Zoom. us02web.zoom.us/j/86543171424
