A strong Kiwanis club doesn’t grow by accident. It grows with intention and purpose — and a team that’s excited about serving kids and the community. That’s why completing your club’s membership plan really matters. It’s a quick way to clarify how you want to grow during this Kiwanis year, as well as how many new members you want to welcome and what tactics you’ll use. When a club takes just a few minutes to reflect and plan, it helps all members to move forward together.

Membership plans for 2025-26 are due December 31, 2025. So if your club hasn’t started, now is the time! Our “Create Your Club’s Membership Plan” workbook is your club’s entry point for:  

  • Examining where your club is today.  
  • Strategizing where your club wants to be.  
  • Analyzing which membership strategies work best for your club.  
  • Deciding how your club will meet its goals.  

Think of your plan as a simple roadmap. It’s not just about adding members — it’s about strengthening your club’s impact in the community and creating more opportunities for people who want to make a difference.  

Every plan helps a club get engaged, active and excited about inviting others into the Kiwanis family. Thank you for being part of that energy and momentum. Our communities — and the kids we serve — are stronger because of you. 

The form to report your new member-add goal and the recruitment tactic you are using is simple to complete and submit. It also allows others at the district and international levels to support you in achieving your goals.
