World Link Program

 

Support New Club Building in
Distant Areas of the World
 

 
  New Kiwanians in new Kiwanis nations need Kiwanis fellowship.

Introducing Kiwanis to a new community, region, or nation, can be an exciting occasion, but it also can be a challenge.

Often, a new club is built a great distance from existing clubs. It has no true sponsor to:
 
 
  .Advise the new Kiwanians about club operations
.Assist them with membership issues
.Share Kiwanis friendship
.Purchase charter gifts
.Help the new club survive
 
 
  Through the World Link Program, an existing Kiwanis club can help build a new club and establish a lasting, mutually rewarding Kiwanis partnership  

 

International Relations Project

Through the World Link Program, a Kiwanis club can help build a new club in a new Kiwanis area by supplying a set of charter gifts. These include a gong and gavel, club banner, and nations flag set (or charter fee, if applicable) - all for only US$350. Co-sponsorships also are possible if two clubs contribute $175 each. This project can be funded from the sponsor's service account.

The International Office will provide the sponsoring club with a contact in the new club. Then, the sponsoring club corresponds with the new club to determine the kind of support that is needed and to give advice about service projects, membership growth, and administration. Many clubs that have been involved in such sponsoring relationships have been corresponding for more than 20 years, and exchange visits occur regularly.
World Link sponsors will receive a handsome six-inch World Link banner patch.

Where to Build

A club's home community may have a "sister city" relationship with a distant town that needs a Kiwanis club. If not, a club may wish to direct its assistance to a particular nation or region. World Link sponsorships can be applied in any nation authorized by the Kiwanis International Board of Trustees. However, no new-club building may occur in a nation until so authorized.
A list of countries currently targeting for World Link sponsors is listed below. Many other national also are authorized. For further information, contact the Kiwanis International Office, 317-875-8755, ext. 161.
