Kiwanis International is a service organization whose mission is "Serving the Children of the World". The organization was founded on January 21, 1915 in Detroit, Michigan by Joseph C. Prance (a tailor) and Allen S. Browne (a professional event organizer). The two came up with the idea in August 1914, and in 1915 founded Kiwanis Club of Detroit Number One. Today, Kiwanis is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Its original purpose was to exchange business between members and to serve the poor. The debate as to whether or not to remain a networking organization or a service organization was resolved in 1919 when Kiwanis adopted a service focused mission. The organization was for men only until 1987 and since then female membership has grown to be 22% of total members.
The third-largest service organization in the world, membership in Kiwanis International in 2005 stood at 275,000. The average age of members is 57 years old. Average size of the 13,000 clubs is 34 members. The organization has chapters in 93 countries.
