Service Leadership Programs
Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs (SLPs) introduce people of all ages and abilities to the Kiwanis family — and to the power of service and leadership. Our SLPs include service clubs that are student-led but sponsored by Kiwanis clubs. So you and your club can serve as mentors to future leaders while showing them the impact they can have now. Kiwanis SLPs also include programs and initiatives that give students opportunities to develop their leadership skills, character and academic achievement. Use the links below to find details and resources for each of our SLPs.
