Organization Profile
 |
Kin Canada is Canada's largest all-Canadian service organization, made
up of people gathered together in clubs for the purposes of bettering
their communities by performing "hands-on" service work, raising
funds for important community projects, and having fun.
Approximately 9,000 members belong to more than 630 Kinsmen, Kinette,
& Kin clubs from coast to coast. Kinsmen clubs are made up of male
club members (Kinsmen), while Kinette clubs are made up of female club
members (Kinettes). Kin clubs have a mixed membership of male and female
club members (Kinsmen and Kinettes). Our Association was founded in Canada,
and there are no clubs outside of Canada.

Our clubs undertake a wide variety of local fundraising and service projects.
Our motto "Serving the Community's Greatest Need" means that each
club determines how it will raise funds and how those funds will be spent
in its community. We encourage the autonomy of our clubs so that as many
decisions as possible are made by our members at the club level. Kinsmen
and Kinettes' national fundraising project involves supporting the work
of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF). Our Association was recently
honored by the CCFF for having contributed more than $30 million to CF research
and treatment since 1964. We are also active coast-to-coast promoting a
variety of national pride initiatives designed to give Canadians the opportunity
to demonstrate that they are proud of their country. For example, Kinsmen
and Kinettes annually spearhead "Raise-the-Flag!" Day, a patriotic
event encouraging Canadians everywhere to raise and fly the Canadian flag.
This annual national event takes place in hundreds of communities the Saturday
preceding the Victoria Day weekend. |
