The Objects of Kiwanis

Kiwanis members are guided by these key principles:

• To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.
• To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
• To promote the adoption and application of higher social, business, and professional standards.
• To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and
  serviceable citizenship.
• To provide a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render unselfish service, and to build better communities.
• To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism, which makes possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
