| Builders Club is the largest service organization for
middle school students (ages 12 to 14), with more than 40,000 members
worldwide.
The first Builders Club was chartered in 1975. Today, there are more
than 2,000 clubs in Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Canada,
Italy, Jamaica, Korea, Martinique, Netherlands Antilles, Philippines,
Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, and the United States.
Builders Club is a “student-led” community service organization,
which operates under school regulations and draws its members from the
student body. Community-based Builders Clubs also may be established at
community facilities such as: churches, libraries, YMCA’s, or lodges.
Builders Club is unique because a Kiwanis club, composed of leading business
and professional people of the community, serves as the club’s sponsor.
Builders Club is structured only on the local club level but is supported
by the Kiwanis International Office in Indianapolis, Indiana, which provides
programs, literature, and opportunities to relate to teenagers from countries
all around the world!
