Club openers and new club coaches

As a club opener, you have the privilege of sharing Kiwanis. You bring new opportunities to children in communities where clubs open. You inspire new members to look at their communities with fresh eyes. And you help nurture the next generation. 

Working with your division’s club openers, new club coaches and lieutenant governor, you lead the process of opening new clubs in your division. You’ll identify potential sites, develop strategies and create a timetable for opening new clubs.

For new clubs, the club coach works in conjunction with the district membership coordinator and division lieutenant governor to provide training, mentoring and membership growth guidance. The club coach ensures that proper guidance is given to a Kiwanis club and serves as the primary mentor assigned to the club.
