Brief History
It all began in 1923...  The first Kiwanis club was organized in Detroit, Mich., on January 21, 1915. A year later the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, was chartered, and Kiwanis International grew rapidly into a leading service club in these two founding nations. In 1962, worldwide expansion was approved, and today Kiwanis clubs are active in every part of the world. The Wooster Kiwanis Club was established on May 4, 1923. From a handful of members in the early days it has expanded to over 150 members.
A Club Effort to Build Community
Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Wooster, Ohio. If service to others, particularly young people, is important to you, then you've come to the right place! Our primary objective is a commitment to make children priority one, which means that all of our efforts are directed at improving the lives of young people in the community. We do this through a variety of programs and partnerships, including Safety Town, a week-long event that teaches children all about safety - both in and out of the home.
Kiwanis group

The Kiwanis motto is "We Build" and the fruits of our labor are clearly visible throughout the community. From the Bob Tuck Kiwanis Playground at Christmas Run park to the Laura B. Frick Kiwanis Playground at Freedlander Park to picnic pavilions throughout the city, the Wooster Kiwanis Club has certainly made its mark on our town.
