- Kiwanis International (/kɪˈwɑːnɪs/ ki-WAH-nis) is an international service club founded in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan. It is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, and is found in more than 80 nations and geographic areas. Since 1987, the organization has also accepted women as members. Membership in Kiwanis and its family of clubs is more than 600,000 members. Each year, Kiwanis clubs raise more than US$100 million and report more than 18.5 million volunteer hours to strengthen communities and serve children. Kiwanis International is a volunteer-led organization headed by a Board of Trustees consisting of 19 members: 15 trustees, four elected officers, and an executive director. The trustees serve three-year terms, with five trustees elected each year. As set out in the bylaws, nine trustees are elected from the United States and Pacific Canada Region, one trustee is elected from the Canada and Caribbean Region, two trustees are elected from the European Region, two trustees are elected from the Asia-Pacific Region, and one trustee is elected "at large" from any region other than the United States and Pacific Canada. The sabah elected officers included (in order of progression): vice president, president-elect, president and immediate past president. These officers, along with the United States and Pacific Canada Region trustees, are elected at the annual convention of Kiwanis International. All trustees and officers are unpaid volunteers. The executive director is a full-time employee who is responsible for the organization's paid staff and serves as a non-voting member of the Board. There are seven regions in Kiwanis: Africa; Asia-Pacific; Canada and Caribbean; Europe; Latin America; Middle East; and the United States and Pacific Canada. The United States and Pacific Canada Region incorporates the 50 states of the United States as well as British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada. There are fifty-three administrative areas called districts. District boards typically consist of a governor-elect, governor, immediate-past governor, secretary, treasurer, and several trustees or lieutenant governors. Districts are further divided into service areas called divisions, comprising 5 to 20 clubs and headed by a lieutenant governor. Clubs have boards consisting of a vice president (and/or president elect), president, immediate past president, secretary, treasurer, and typically about five directors. At both the district and club level, the secretary//treasurer may be combined by one person and may be a volunteer or a paid employee; all other positions are unpaid. (en)

- Kiwanis International è un club di servizio internazionale, cioè un'organizzazione no-profit di volontari i cui membri si incontrano regolarmente per intrattenere rapporti di amicizia e nel contempo si impegnano per il bene degli altri eseguendo opere di carità sia personalmente che per mezzo di raccolta di fondi.Fondato nel 1915, è attualmente aperto a membri dei due sessi. La sua sede principale è a Indianapolis (Indiana) negli Stati Uniti. Comprende approssimativamente 8.000 club in 96 nazioni con più di 260.000 membri adulti. Il nome “Kiwanis” significa “noi commerciamo” o “noi condividiamo i nostri talenti” è stato coniato da un'espressione nella degli indiani d'America, “Nunc Kee-wanis” che significa “Buona giornata”, “facciamo rumore” o, sotto un'altra costruzione “Commerciamo o facciamo pubblicità”.Questo era originariamente il motto del Kiwanis, tradotto in "Noi costruiamo". Il motto corrente è "Serving the children of the world" che significa “Serviamo i bambini del mondo”. Il Kiwanis International è diretto da un Consiglio di Fondazione, da un Presidente Internazionale e da altri ufficiali. Questi ufficiali sono eletti in occasione della convention annuale del Kiwanis International. Ci sono decine di distretti amministrativi, ognuno guidato da un governatore, e nei distretti vi sono divisioni più piccole, che comprendono 12-20 club guidate da un vice governatore. (it)
- 國際同濟會（Kiwanis International）是一個以「關懷兒童，無遠弗屆」為任務目標的，1915年1月21日創建於美國密西根州的底特律。現在，國際同濟會的總部在印第安納州的印第安納波利斯。 「Kiwanis」源於底特律地區的一種印地安語中的「Nunc Kee-wanis」，意思是「我們交易」（we trade）或「祝你愉快」（we have a good time）。 該會原本的宗旨在於促進成員間的商業交流和幫助窮困。關於應定位為一個還是服務性組織的討論，在1919年獲得解決，國際同濟會選擇以服務為重心。在1987年以前，這個組織只有男性參加，然而在該年開始加入女性成員後，女性成員的比例日漸提高。 身為全球第三大的服務性組織，在2005年，同濟會在93個國家設有分會，成員總數達到275,000人。成員的平均年齡是57歲。所屬13,000個單位的平均規模為34人。 (zh)
