The Kiwanis Club of downtown Birmingham will be the preeminent civic group in Birmingham, attracting and retaining the best, brightest and most influential members of our community. We will seek to inspire, develop and support the civic growth and health of Birmingham with a special emphasis on improving the lives of children and therefore ensuring the well-being of our Community for future generations.
Club leaders regularly survey members to ensure the club experience exceeds expectations of members.
We are actively recruiting new members for the growth of our prestigious club.
Giving back to our community with a focus on youth is at the core of the Club’s beliefs.
Our Mission:
Founded in 1917 when Birmingham was young, the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham has served as a foundational catalyst for the growth of our city and state for more than a century, uniting a diverse group of business, civic and community leaders to move Birmingham forward.
As the cornerstone of Kiwanis International, the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham brings members together to discuss important topics of the day and address initiatives for the future. Through outreach programs that focus primarily on the youth of our community, we are called to our highest work – to provide for all children an ever-improving quality of life and to secure for future generations unlimited opportunities for service.
Our Club recognizes business leaders exemplifying strong leadership and making extraordinary contributions to the Greater Birmingham area.
We attract influential men and women who offer the Club a wealth of talent. With a focus on enhancing the diversity of the Club, members are actively recruiting minorities.
Members hear from a variety of speakers at the weekly lunches covering politics, sports, business, entertainment and important topics of the day.
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.
Our outreach programs include Reading Is Fundamental for Head Start students, Key Club for high school students and Circle K at area universities.
We built Kiwanis Centennial Park and Kiwanis Vulcan Trail as a gift to the community. Now open, this new public space is enhancing our urban revitalization and green space initiatives.
