Kiwanis International is a thriving organization of service- and community-minded individuals who support children and young adults around the world. More than 600,000 Kiwanis-family members in 94 countries make their mark by responding to the needs of their communities and pooling their resources to address worldwide issues. Through these efforts, Kiwanis International truly is "Serving the Children of the World."

Division 5 is made up of 23 Kiwanis Clubs located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

We are one of forty-five divisions that make up the California-Nevada-Hawaii (Cal-Nev-Ha) District, the largest district in Kiwanis International.

Our 2006 - 2007 Lt. Governor is Robert Kolstad, a member of the East Fresno Club. Our Lt. Governor-Elect is  David Pinuellas of Sanger Kiwanis Club.

A typical Kiwanis club is a snapshot of its community, with members from all walks of life and at every step of the career ladder. They are unified in their belief that children and their communities benefit from the efforts of a proficient group of caring and involved volunteers. In a typical year, Kiwanis clubs invest more than 6.2 million hours and US$100 million in communities around the world. Through these efforts, the Kiwanis organization truly leaves a lasting impression on future generations.
