KIWANIS CLUB BYLAWS

The Kiwanis International Bylaws state that all Kiwanis clubs must conform to the accepted standards for clubs. Those standards are captured in the Standard Form for Club Bylaws, which is each club’s agreement with Kiwanis International regarding basic standards for belonging to the organization and for using its names and marks.

Each club submits the Standard Form for Club Bylaws to Kiwanis International for approval of its club bylaws. The form provides flexibility and autonomy, with club policies that can be customized by each club. 

If you are ready to start the online submission process, log on to Kiwanis Connect and navigate to the “Club Bylaws” tab.

Before you begin the submission process, you can:

• Review a non-fillable version of the form.

• Read answers to frequently asked questions about the form.

• Review Kiwanis International’s definition of “conduct unbecoming” and the process to be followed when an allegation of such conduct is made. 

The Standard Form for Club Bylaws was most recently updated in March 2025. To see a non-fillable version of the form that specifies what was changed, click here.
