The talented membership offers the Club a wealth of talent to pour into its transformational projects impacting our community. With a focus on enhancing the diversity of the Club, members are actively recruiting minorities for future growth. As the cornerstone of Kiwanis International, the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham brings members together to discuss important topics of the day and address initiatives for the future. Through outreach programs focusing primarily on youth, members are called to do their highest work—providing for all children an ever-improving quality of life and securing for future generations unlimited opportunities for service.To commemorate its 100 years, the Club built Kiwanis Centennial Park and Kiwanis Vulcan Trail at Vulcan Park & Museum—a transformational project for Birmingham that is catalyzing positive civic change. Members are raising the $5.8 million for the expansion of the footprint of Vulcan to enhance the community's urban revitalization and green space initiatives making Vulcan and Birmingham's trail system a leading tourist attraction in the state. Other recent civic projects include the Giraffe exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo and Itty Bitty Magic City at McWane Science.A signature event of the Club is the Birmingham Business Hall of Fame. Members annually select business leaders who have exemplified strong leadership and made extraordinary contributions to the Greater Birmingham area to be inducted into the Birmingham Business Hall of Fame.
