Service Leadership Programs

Kiwanis SLPs are leadership and character-building programs hosted in a school or community agency and championed by Kiwanis Clubs. Service Leadership Programs have existed since the first Key Club was founded in 1925. Since then, millions of students have been inspired to lead lives of service and significance through programs for all ages.
