Chartered on January 20, 1917, the Kiwanis Club of Rockford is one of the oldest Kiwanis clubs in the world.
During our 103-year history, our members have provided countless hours of service to children of our community and the world, and have distributed over one million dollars to youth organizations in Rockford and surrounding areas.
Today our club remains vibrant, creative in purpose, and growing: offering meetings and volunteer opportunities to fit your lifestyle and schedule.
Our members represent all walks of life, ages, and beliefs in a common bond of camaraderie, inclusion, and service. Our goal: making life better for the children and youth of our community - Where One Can Make a Difference.
