In 1994, Kiwanis International pledged to help protect children from Iodine Deficiency Disorders in its first Worldwide Service Project. Now, with the majority of the world’s children protected against IDD, Kiwanis is inviting proposals to become the global service organization’s second worldwide service initiative.
Kiwanis’ second Worldwide Service Project will engage its youth and adult members to make a positive difference in the world by helping children in need.
Nominations are due by Oct. 1, 2009, and must:
- Involve a child-focused issue or problem
- Be compelling and relevant
- Involve a global and a local level of participation and impact
- Include hands-on service and fundraising
- Address a virtually solvable problem or issue
- Lead to life-changing experiences
Please direct general questions to Elizabeth Warren, Worldwide Service Project coordinator, at 317-217-6211, or ewarren@kiwanis.org. Media queries and/or appointments with contacts should be coordinated through our public relations staff at 317-217-6171, or e-mail jisert@kiwanis.org. Please return the completed proposal online at http://www.kiwanis.org/wsp.
Kiwanis will announce its second Worldwide Service Project in June 2010 at the organization’s 95th annual convention in Las Vegas.
