K-Kids, a Kiwanis club sponsored program, has seen steady growth since its inception in 1990. Begun in Florida, where 1998-99 Kiwanis Governor Lamar FIsher developed the program and provided continuing support, K-Kids soon spread to other Kiwanis districts. AS a result of its growth, K-Kids was adopted as a spoonsored program on October 1, 1998. The first club chartered by International was the K-KidsClub of Brooksville Elementary School in Florida.

Today, in addition to the U.S., there area clubs in AUstralia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Italy, Jamaica, Malaysia, Martinique, NIgerai, the Phillippines, and Trinidad and Tobago. There are over 600 K-Kids clubs across the world!

K-Kids at OCS began about eight years ago through the encouragement of Mr. Jim MIller, a member of the Washington Kiwanis Club. We have grown in membership and activities.
