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
