K-Kids Week: Inspiring the Next Generation of Leaders in Coppell
February 9–13, 2026 marks K-Kids Week, a special time across the Kiwanis family to celebrate elementary students who are learning leadership, service, and kindness through K-Kids, one of Kiwanis International’s youth programs.
While Coppell does not currently have a K-Kids club, the Kiwanis Club of Coppell is excited to raise awareness about this impactful program and begin conversations about what it could look like to bring K-Kids to our local elementary schools in the future.
What is K-Kids?
K-Kids is a Kiwanis-sponsored program for elementary school students, designed to help children:
Develop leadership and teamwork skills
Build confidence and responsibility
Learn the value of helping others
Make a positive difference in their school and community
Through age-appropriate service projects and activities, K-Kids empowers children to lead by example and discover that even small acts of kindness can have a big impact.
Why K-Kids Matters
Kiwanis believes that leadership development starts early. Programs like K-Kids introduce children to service at a young age, helping them grow into caring, engaged community members.
K-Kids is also part of the larger Kiwanis family of service leadership programs, which supports youth at every stage:
K-Kids (elementary school)
Builders Club (middle school)
Key Club (high school)
Circle K International (college)
Aktion Club (adults 18+ with disabilities)
Kiwanis (adult service)
Together, these programs create a powerful pipeline of leadership and service that benefits communities around the world.
Celebrating K-Kids Week (Feb 9–13)
Each day of K-Kids Week highlights a different theme:
Monday: Show your K-Kids pride
Tuesday: Kudos to the helpers
Wednesday: Share with parents and families
Thursday: Random acts of kindness
Friday: Connect the Kiwanis family
Throughout the week, Kiwanis clubs, schools, and communities celebrate kindness in action and recognize the adults and families who support young leaders.
Exploring K-Kids in Coppell
The Kiwanis Club of Coppell is proud to support youth leadership locally — including recently chartering the Key Club of Coppell High School — and we’re excited to explore how K-Kids could one day support elementary students in our community as well.
Bringing a K-Kids club to a school starts with interest and partnership. We welcome conversations with:
Elementary school administrators and educators
Parents interested in leadership opportunities for their children
Community members who value youth service and development

Make plans to join us in Manila for the 2026 Kiwanis International Convention! Located on Manila Bay in the Philippines, the city is known for its mix of the modern and the historic — from culture to cuisine and more. That makes the Philippines’ capitol city a great place for Kiwanians to gather for fun, fellowship and education. Save the date now, and look for more information as the event approaches!
From education and fellowship to inspiration and celebration, it’s the year’s biggest Kiwanis event.
Here are some reasons why you’ll want to be there:
