Types of Clubs
Kiwanis International has developed different types of clubs to meet the needs of a changing world. These club types were created to attract potential members with common lifestyles and offer relevant service opportunities to more people. Please look over these six types.

Classic Kiwanis Club
A classic Kiwanis club is the traditional club in most communities today. This type of club fits many communities and can be adapted to diverse groups, corporations or specific professional societies. It meets every week or twice a month, and conducts various service projects.
Internet-based clubs
Internet-based clubs offer flexibility for those who travel or cannot attend traditional meetings. This type of club operates in much the same way as a classic club, except that club meetings are generally held in chat rooms and officers use technology extensively to keep members informed and connected. Members then assemble for service projects.
Young professionals clubs
Young professionals clubs meet the needs of younger members with busy lifestyles. These clubs generally have flexible meeting schedules, provide hands-on service projects, conduct social activities for members and families, and use technology to assist in club operations and administration
3-2-1
A 3-2-1 club represents three hours of service, two hours of social activity, and a one hour meeting each month. These clubs are part of a pilot project inspired by feedback from current and past members reflecting a desire to meet less and do more service and social events.
Golden K Kiwanis clubs
Golden K clubs offer service and fellowship opportunities for older, retired citizens. Service projects, social events and fundraising events are geared toward specific interests of the club members. Meetings are generally scheduled mid-morning without a main meal.
