The CAYP difference
By showing you a comparison between a Young Professional club and a traditional Kiwanis Club you will see what we are all about:
Traditional Kiwanis Club:
Meets once a week (in person)
Fines at meetings
Focuses on Perfect Attendance
Mandatory high cost meals at meetings
Communication of info in person
High cost Dues
Money Club (Service done with money)
Limited Hands on projects
Reflects a past generation
Sponsors multiple clubs
Young Professional Kiwanis Club:
Meets twice a month (online and cocktail Happy Hour meeting)
No fines at meetings
No worries on perfect attendance
Optional low cost meals at meetings (when we actually meet)
Communication of info mostly online
Low cost Dues
Hands on service (physical)
More hands on projects for more flexibility
Reflects today’s generation
Stays involved to help Circle K college clubs
How often does the club meet and how would communication be conducted?
Twice a month (not mandatory… that is why we focus on online info)
One meeting being “Cocktail/Happy Hour” meeting. These “Happy Hour” meetings can be held anywhere and can even be in multiple places at once. That is why membership can be open to the entire state of California.
Contact with members would be through online resources (E-mail, website, chat rooms, etc…)
Benefits of being a Kiwanian
Credibility to your friends and co-workers in being part of a well-known organization.
Looks excellent on a job resume (adult professional club) when job searching
Same benefits that any Kiwanian from a “traditional” club has
Member-organized service projects span many different interests including working with children, the elderly, and the homeless. We also perform AIDS outreach, sponsor community developments, and assist in relief efforts.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a group of great people who share the same interest in becoming more involved in the community and having fun while doing so!!!
Membership Dues
Why pay to volunteer? A good question and we have the answers. -Sense of Purpose -Impact on the community -Credibility as a young adult -Recognition for your service -Leadership opportunities -Networking with young professionals
CAYP understand the needs of young professionals and that's why our dues are much lower than any other Kiwanis Club. Dues vary depending on your former Kiwanis membership, but it can range from $0 to $125/year. This payment includes international dues, district dues, and club dues.
If you were a Key Club, Kiwins, or Circle K members and are under 25, your first years of Kiwanis due is $0!
