Kiwanis clubs meet to plan service projects and fundraisers, conduct club business and socialize. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most clubs have been able to continue those activities through virtual meetings. However, as more clubs resume in-person meetings, Kiwanis International has compiled guidelines for clubs and districts to help members continue serving safely with adequate health protocols.
While planning fundraisers and activities, your club will want to keep an eye toward safety to avoid accidents. Some activities inherently involve some risk. With others, the risks aren’t as obvious. There’s a lot to know about risk management: what is covered by insurance and what is excluded, what activities beg a waiver, and how to report a claim if an accident does occur. Use these tools to educate yourself and others on how to physically protect participants and financially protect your club.
