Renew your Builders Club today! 

Kiwanis club secretary,

If the Builders Club that your Kiwanis club sponsors will be active for the 2025-26 school year, make sure that club receives its program kit to start the year with the materials it needs! Entering the required information and paying the renewal fees will ensure your club receives its program kit.

As the sponsoring Kiwanis club secretary, you should start completing the following steps today.

1. Prior to beginning the club renewal process, contact the club’s faculty advisor to:

• Ask for the estimated number of members the advisor anticipates for 2025-26.
• Verify or update the mailing address to which the program kit should be shipped.
• Verify or update the advisor’s contact information. Let them know that if they are willing to share a personal email address, this is very useful. School filters often prevent Kiwanis’ non-school emails from reaching faculty and staff.

2. Log into Kiwanis Engage – the organization’s new reporting website – at https://engage.kiwanis.org. You can check out this video for a quick tutorial! It will show you the next steps.

• Under the Finance section, select the “Renew” button located next to each Builders Club fee listed.
• Update the anticipated number of Builders Club members.
• Update the name and phone number of the contact individual and the mailing addresses to which the club’s program kit should be shipped.

3. After updating the club’s information, pay the renewal fee by credit card.
4. Repeat the above steps for each Builders Club sponsored by the Kiwanis club.

Beginning September 1, Kiwanis International will ship kits to clubs that have paid the renewal fee.

If your Builders Club has more than 60 members, you will need to order one or more supplemental kits. Each kit costs US$50 and provides enough materials for an additional 30 members. These can be ordered through the Kiwanis Engage — or from the Kiwanis International Member Services team at 1-317-875-8755 (worldwide) or 1-800-549-2647 (U.S. and Canada), or by email at Payment must be received before additional kits will be shipped. The Member Services team is also available if you encounter any issues during the update process.

Thank you for building service leadership in young people through sponsorship of a Builders Club!
