With Young Children Priority One, your club can assess what
the youngest members in your area need the most, then address those needs with the full support of Kiwanis International behind you.
Young Children Priority One focuses on children prenatal
through age 5 through four areas:
maternal and child health
child care and development
parent education and support
safety and pediatric trauma
The program lets clubs choose what causes to support, what services to
perform and what fundraisers are most appropriate.

Project tips
Before beginning a project:
Determine the most relevant and important issues affecting youth in its community.
Conduct a community needs analysis and discuss options with club and community
leaders.
Identify your club’s skill set and how you can make a measurable impact. Projects
should strike a nice balance between resources, time, and energy. For example, while
some club members can work weekly on a project, others can only devote an afternoon a month. Consider identifying projects that appeal to all your members.
