Builders Club



Builders Club is a coeducational service program, sponsored by a Kiwanis club, which provides young people between the ages of 12 and 15 the opportunity to help others, serve their school and community, and build a positive future for themselves.

The Kiwanis club role is to initiate organization of a Builders Club in accordance with guidelines provided by Kiwanis International, get the approval of school officials for its establishment as a school organization, recruit initial members, schedule the organizational meeting, file the Petition for Charter, plan for the charter presentation event, and after the club is fully operating, to provide continuous coordination, counsel, and assistance. Additional information, including a Petition for Charter and the Standard Form for Builders Club Bylaws, are included in the "Builders Club Building Kit," free upon request from Kiwanis International.

A Builders Club takes the name of the school in which its members are enrolled, and the school administration names a faculty member to serve as faculty advisor to the Builders Club. For this reason, a Builders Club must be approved by the school administration before it can be organized, and once organized, it must operate in conformity with school regulations regarding school organizations.

A Builders Club elects its own officers, determines the schedule for its regular meetings, and establishes its own committees. Projects are carried out under the supervision and cooperation of a faculty advisor, school administrator, and sponsoring Kiwanis club. The club may select its own projects, but is also seeks opportunities to work with the sponsoring Kiwanis club, Key Club, or Circle K Club and/or K-Kids Club in joint service or fund-raising activities. 
         

                  

Builders Club
When middle school and junior high students began to show an interest in organizing to serve their schools and communities, the Builders Club program was launched in 1975. With support from Kiwanis clubs, Key Clubs, and Circle K clubs, the Builders Club network has grown to include more than 1,500 clubs and 44,000 members in 13 nations.
