We Build By Serving.
This has been the Club’s motto for more than 100 years. Members are dedicated to providing an ever-improving quality of life for our community.
Building a stronger community starts with our youth. We provide a preschool literacy program, a book partnership with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, college scholarships and support for youth civic clubs.
As a gift to the community to celebrate the club’s 100 year anniversary, Kiwanians built Kiwanis Centennial Park, Kiwanis Vulcan Trail and added LED lighting to Vulcan, a $5.8 million dollar expansion and renovation project at Vulcan Park and Museum. It’s part of an on-going commitment to Vulcan when the Club secured funding to move Vulcan to Red Mountain in the 1930s.
Since 1997, the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham has annually selected and inducted leaders into the Birmingham Business Hall of Fame. These leaders exemplify strong leadership and make extraordinary contributions to the Greater Birmingham area. To date, the Club has inducted 156 prominent Birmingham business leaders into this prestigious Hall of Fame. This longstanding event is part of the Club’s mission of building a stronger community.
With 500 members, the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham is the largest Kiwanis in the world and one of the oldest civic service organizations.

We built Kiwanis Centennial Park and Kiwanis Vulcan Trail as a gift to the community in 2017. Now open, this new public space is enhancing our urban revitalization and green space initiatives.
Projects spearheaded by our Club have served as a catalyst for growth in our city for more than a century starting with creating Birmingham’s park system in the 1920s and moving Vulcan to the top of Red Mountain in the 1930s.
