Metro Detroit Young Professionals Kiwanis chartered in August 2015. We emphasize the fun aspect of Kiwanis and meet less to ultimately serve more. Our areas of focus are:
In 2018, our club adopted Little Free Libraries as our signature service project. We are excited to foster a love of reading across all ages! We installed and maintain the following Little Free Libraries:
Grant Park in Royal Oak
Oakland Family Services in Pontiac
River Bends Park in Shelby Township
Richmond Middle School in Richmond
Socials
We host monthly socials to allow our members to get to know one another outside of meetings and service projects. Popular socials include Detroit City Football Club games, ice skating, cider mills, and our annual holiday party. No matter the event, we always have a great time!
Fundraisers
We run a number of fundraisers throughout the year, including football Squares boards and our annual Euchre tournament. The money raised supports our own service initiatives as well as:
Adopt A Family: Adopt a family for the holidays.
Kiwanis of Michigan Foundation: Support key programs at four children’s hospitals around Michigan that provide therapies and activities to allow kids to be kids while undergoing treatment.
Kiwanis Children’s Fund: Support Kiwanis International’s programs on kids’ health and nutrition, education and literacy, and youth leadership development.
Richmond Middle School Builder’s Club
In 2019, we began sponsoring Richmond Middle School’s Builders Club. These amazing middle school students have continued on their leadership journey and make a tremendous impact in their school and community. The work they do is truly inspirational and we can’t wait to see what they do in the future. We are proud to instill a lifelong commitment to service in each of them.

First National Building, 660 Woodward Ave #2430, Detroit, MI 48226, USA
Mittens for Detroit is a group that works to make sure kids, teens, and adults in Detroit have new mittens and gloves during the colder months. Handling thousands of donations, they rely on volunteers to handle their large inventory.
We will be participating in one of their bigger events, The Big Sort, which is a series of volunteering drives to handle these mitten and glove inventories. It will be at Campus Martius, in the historic First National Building. Sign up here.

During the winter families are in need more than ever. Cass Community Social Services is a local non-profit that works to help fight poverty, feed the hungry, and help house the homeless. We will be helping with food prep, which is a constant job and requires volunteers! We will be parking at behind the main building, and I will email you the gate code number for those who sign up.
