Kiwanis International has six permanent Objects:

• To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.

• To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.

• To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards.

• To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship.

• To provide through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.

• To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.
