OBJECTIVES OF KIWANIS
● 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 goodwill.
Our primary objective is a commitment to make children PRIORITY ONE, which means that all of our efforts are directed at improving the lives of young people in the community. We do
this through a variety of programs and partnerships, including Safety Town for local children entering Kindergarten and the Wooster Police Department Bicycle Rodeo.
The Kiwanis motto is "We Build" and the fruits of our labor are clearly visible throughout the community. From the Kiwanis Playground at Christmas Run Park, the Laura B. Frick Kiwanis
Playground at Freedlander Park, the Salvation Army playground, the observation deck at the Barnes Preserve and picnic pavilions throughout the city, the Wooster Kiwanis Club has
certainly made its mark on our town.
WE BUILD… LEADERSHIP WE BUILD… LITERACY

TRAVEL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT
The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures for authorizing travel and reimbursement of expenses for Kiwanis officers and volunteers attending conferences, training, meetings, and other official business. Reasonable expenses are eligible for reimbursement incurred while on Kiwanis business. While attending approved functions, the burden of responsibility for sound judgment in expending Kiwanis funds rests on the attending volunteers. Excessive spending will not be covered by Kiwanis. Travel should always be arranged to serve the best interest of Kiwanis. Volunteers should use the most direct route and the most economical transportation, taking into consideration travel time, absence from regular work schedule, and other reasonable expenses incurred while on travel status. Travel reimbursement expenses along with dated receipts attached must be submitted to and authorized by the appropriate Committee Chair, President, and/or Treasurer. REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
a. Mileage at standard mileage reimbursement rate, when using personal vehicle per IRS community service rate
b. Actual and reasonable meals, including reasonable tips (15%) c. Toll charges, parking fees, ferry fees, bridge, road, and tunnel fees d. Baggage transfer and handling, including reasonable tips e. Lodging f. Registration fees, if the purpose of the travel is attendance at conferences or official
meetings g. Taxis, including reasonable tips h. Transportation for meals/lodging (when the traveler’s location is such that suitable
meals and/or lodging cannot be obtained within a reasonable proximity of the traveler’s location)
NON-REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
a. Alcoholic beverages (these may not be included on any receipts)
36
b. Commuting between an employee’s residence and assigned work location c. Late check-out and room guaranteed charges d. Laundry or dry cleaning if on travel status less than 7 consecutive days e. Parking tickets or other traffic fines f. Spouse/family travel expenses unless specific approval is provided g. Tobacco products h. Towing personal automobile i. Travel insurance j. Personal gift items k. Traveler’s checks l. Room service will not be reimbursed
TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT LIMITATIONS
a. Air Travel Coach class or discounted class airfare shall be used in the interest of economy. Special airfare costs for disabled persons are reimbursed for the actual cost of airfare that is the most accessible to their needs. In the event that a member voluntarily resigns from Kiwanis within 30 days of the planned travel event, and has purchased non-refundable/non-transferable tickets, the member will be expected to reimburse the club for the cost of the airline tickets.
b. Lodging Allowances Each volunteer is to request the lowest available rate when making reservations. Because certain hotels offer special reduced rates during training sessions and conferences, members should request these rates when making a reservation.
c. Spouses/Dependents/Guests Any travel with a spouse, dependent, and/or guest’s expenses are considered non-reimbursable.
d. Personal Convenience When travelers interrupt travel or deviate from the direct route for personal convenience or personal leave, they may be reimbursed only at the rate for uninterrupted travel by the most direct route. When travelers must use premium transportation, such as first class, for health or other medical reasons, those reasons must be affirmed in a doctor’s certificate indicating how long the medical condition is expected to last. If permanent or indefinite, the doctor’s certification is renewed and revalidated each year.
37
e. Alcohol Kiwanis will not reimburse ANY expenses for alcoholic beverages.
EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURE It is very important that volunteers keep track of their reimbursable expenses and safeguard all receipts needed to support their claims for reimbursement. Receipts are required to be filed for all expenses when available, such as registration, hotel, and travel. In the event a receipt is lost, a facsimile receipt must be made which lists details of the charged expense.

BACKGROUND CHECKS Kiwanis advisors to any sponsored Service Leadership Program are required to have a criminal background check conducted and verified by Kiwanis International. By offering a standard, comprehensive background check for all Kiwanis advisors through Kiwanis International, we can be confident that all Kiwanis clubs are protecting those we serve—and protecting all Kiwanis members. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Who is required to have clear criminal history background checks? A: Whomever is reported as the designated Kiwanis advisor to any sponsored Service Leadership Program club. Kiwanis International’s SLPs are K-Kids, Builders Club, Key Club, Circle K, and Aktion Club. Q: Why are Kiwanis advisors required to get a background check? A: There is no more important responsibility than the safety and well-being of those we serve—from the children in youth programs to adults with disabilities. Required background checks help ensure that Kiwanians meet the highest standards by identifying past behavior that may disqualify a person from working closely with those we serve. Background checks are an important step in which Kiwanis can ensure that our members and those we serve are protected. Q: How long are the results of a background check valid? A: Kiwanis advisors’ background checks will be valid for two years. Q: What kind of background check is needed? Kiwanis advisors must obtain a criminal history background check that is processed through Kiwanis International. Kiwanis International’s current provider is Safe Hiring Solutions. Q: What is the cost of a background check? And who is responsible for paying? A: The cost is US$25 for advisors in the United States and the Caribbean. Kiwanis International
39
is still negotiating pricing for Canada and Europe. The cost of the background check can be paid by the individual, club or district. Q: What about other advisors? A: Faculty and facility advisors need to meet the background check expectations for their school, organization or agency, but are not subject to Kiwanis policies. Q: What are the reporting requirements for background checks? A: For the Kiwanis club, there are no reporting requirements for background checks. A Kiwanis club’s secretary does need to report who is serving as the Kiwanis advisor for each of the club’s SLP clubs on the Secretary Dashboard of the Kiwanis Online Reporting system. Once a background check is completed, it will be reflected in the Kiwanis Dashboard. Q: Is a background check from another provider acceptable? No. Kiwanis International does not accept background checks for Kiwanis advisors from any entity other than Kiwanis International's provider. Q: Will the Kiwanis advisor or Kiwanis club be directly notified when the background check is complete? A: No. Due to the volume of information being received and processed, it is not possible to notify individuals directly when results are received. However, it will be noted on the Kiwanis Secretary Dashboard of the Kiwanis online reporting system. Q: What happens to a club that either neglects to or refuses to have a background check performed on the appropriate club member? A: Currently, there are no direct consequences for a club. However, Kiwanis International provides club liability insurance—so an incident following failure to comply with this policy could subsequently affect Kiwanis’ premium for such coverage. Q: If the Kiwanis advisor does not get a background check, will the club’s financial protection through Kiwanis International liability insurance be affected? A: No, currently the club’s coverage is not directly affected. However, long-term costs of such coverage for the organization could rise if claims result from a club’s failure to conduct a background check.
40
Q: What causes a criminal history background check to be considered “not clear”? A: A criminal history background check is considered “not clear” if it indicates: a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; a felony or conviction or registration of a violent and/or sexual nature, involving any type of abuse of a child, involving threatening or intimidating behavior, or otherwise of a physical nature; or a felony related to larceny or theft. Kiwanis International criteria outlined in Kiwanis International procedure 197 should be used to determine if a check is “clear”. Q: Why have we chosen Safe Hiring Solutions? A: Safe Hiring Solutions has been well vetted as the provider of Kiwanis International's background checks. In fact, Safe Hiring Solutions is the chosen background check provider for thousands of other volunteer organizations. The company’s background check screening includes Social Security verification, a county criminal record search and in-depth searches of the national criminal database and national sex offender registry. Click here for more information about Safe Hiring Solutions. Q: Are discounts available for individuals needing renewals of background checks? A: Discounts are not available for any background checks. The same steps are required each time a background check occurs, so no less work is required from the provider. This thoroughness is important: Since a full background check is completed each time, complete and current information is collected each time. Q: If the Kiwanis advisor has a background check through the school system or the sponsoring organization, why is he or she still required to complete one through Kiwanis International? A: Kiwanis International cannot rely on other organizations' background checks for a few reasons: All background checks are different. (For example, some only check a person’s current address, some only go back one year, some only check for certain offenses, etc.). With background checks conducted by Kiwanis International’s provider, we have the confidence of results that come from the same check for all Kiwanis advisors. All members will be held to the same standard check. Liability issues dictate that Kiwanis International cannot rely on other organizations' checks in
41
the event of an incident or allegation. If a Kiwanis advisor only completed a background check through the school or sponsoring organization, Kiwanis International would not be notified if the background check expired—and the advisor would then be out of compliance. By having the same check for all advisors, Kiwanis can ensure all advisors are up to date with their background checks. Q: How does a Kiwanis advisor get a background check? A: The Kiwanis club secretary will update the Kiwanis advisors (including their correct email addresses) for each of the SLPs on the secretary dashboard. Kiwanis International will then email advisors who need a background check to provide instructions and the web link for completing the background check process.
YOUTH PROTECTION GUIDELINES (effective October 2016) All adults working with youth under the age of 18 at any Kiwanis event are expected to read/understand, agree to, and abide by these guidelines.
Education: Every Kiwanis club is expected to educate its members on the Kiwanis Youth Protection Guidelines. Each year, a club should provide members with a copy of the Guidelines with educational training—informing them of the highest standards of conduct and awareness.
In addition, every Kiwanis district is expected to help inform and educate. During every district-produced convention and conference, the district is expected to provide an educational forum or workshop regarding the Guidelines and best practices for adults who work with youth. Districts should use materials provided by Kiwanis International.
Every member should attend a training annually—whether offered by the club or district, or via the online tool.
Chaperone: A chaperone is defined as a Kiwanis member, faculty member, parent, legal guardian, or person who is in loco parentis (in the place of a parent), 21 years of age or older, who has been approved by the school or agency and registered with the school or agency to accompany the youth members at the specific event.
Criminal History Background Checks: Kiwanis clubs are required to have a clear criminal history background check—conducted and verified by Kiwanis International—of any member serving as a Kiwanis advisor to any Service Leadership Program club (Aktion Club, Circle K, Key Club, Builders Club and K-Kids). Kiwanis International’s criteria shall be followed to determine whether the background check is considered ‘clear.’ Background checks shall be valid for no more than two years. SLP clubs that petition to charter will only be approved once the appointed Kiwanis advisor has a clear criminal history background check conducted by Kiwanis International. Clubs are strongly encouraged to ensure confidential background checks for all adults who will work directly with youth outside of the school and/or who may not have undergone a background check. The criminal history background check should conform to applicable local and state/provincial laws and requirements.
Kiwanis International requires clear criminal history background checks conducted by its provider for all adults working with youth at all Kiwanis International-sponsored events. These include the Key Club International Convention, the Key Club Governor and Administrator training conference, the Key Club International Leadership Conference, and any Key Leader weekend.
All district chairpersons and committee members for all Service Leadership Programs are required to have a clear criminal history background check conducted by Kiwanis International. A district may also require criminal history background checks for other adults working with youth as part of district programs or events. (See Kiwanis International Policy B and Procedure 197 for complete information regarding criminal history background checks.)
Overnight Stays: While attending a Kiwanis event that requires overnight stay in a hotel or camp/conference setting, adult chaperoning must include no fewer than one adult male for each 10 or part of 10 youth males, and one adult female for each 10 or part of 10 youth females. Except for a parent sharing a sleeping room or other sleeping quarter (e.g., tent) with his/her own child, no adult should share a hotel or dormitory sleeping room or other sleeping quarter with a youth. In the event that sleeping quarters consist of multiple beds, such
These policies can be found in Kiwanis International Policies and Procedures as Procedure 432.
YOUTH PROTECTION GUIDELINES (effective October 2016) as a bunkhouse or camp cabin, adults may share the sleeping quarters with youth members of the same gender, provided that two or more adults are present.
Transportation: When transporting youth, the best practice is having three people in the car at all times with documented approval from the parent or guardian for the transportation arrangements. When both of these conditions cannot be met, one of them should be. All transportation decisions should be made in accordance with local laws and school policies.
Use of Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco, Marijuana, and Other Substances While attending any Kiwanis event that is produced primarily by or for the benefit of youth, adults are expected to refrain from using or being under the influence of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and/or marijuana products, even if prescribed for medicinal use. In addition, the use and/or possession of illegal drugs or the improper/illegal use of legal drugs is prohibited.
Medications: The possession of prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medications by youth at a Kiwanis event should be permitted only with the written permission of the parent/guardian.
Reporting: If a Kiwanian observes troubling behavior involving a youth at a Kiwanis event or becomes aware of a situation that is illegal or potentially unsafe for a young person at a Kiwanis event, he or she must immediately contact the appropriate personnel at the event and provide notification to law enforcement personnel as appropriate. If the Kiwanian becomes aware of the troubling behavior after the event, he/she must contact leaders of the event and provide notification to law enforcement personnel as appropriate. All local, state, provincial and federal laws regarding reporting must be followed.
Personal Information: All documents bearing personal information of any youth attending a Kiwanis event, including registration forms, medical information forms, permission-to-treat forms, etc. should be treated as confidential. Processes that protect this information must be created, including minimizing the number of people who have access to any such documents. The documents shall be maintained for a minimum of three years or longer as may be required by applicable state/provincial laws and regulations. After the maintenance period has expired, the documents shall be destroyed in a way that maintains confidentiality, such as shredding. The disposal and destruction of all confidential information shall conform to applicable state/provincial laws and regulations.
Youth and Social Media: For any social networking site that involves requesting a connection (such as inviting someone to be a friend on Facebook), adults should never initiate such connections with youth. If a youth requests such a connection from a Kiwanian, he/she should use their best judgment in responding. Adults should treat their interaction with youth on social networking sites as though the interaction were occurring in public, in front of other adults and young people. In other words, if it would not be appropriate to say something to a young person in public, it should not be said as a comment on a social networking site either. Kiwanians should refrain from interactions that can be seen as excessive (such as constantly “liking” or commenting on a person’s posts on Facebook). Prior to posting any media online, such as photographs, obtain permission from any and all individuals (or parents for minors) who appear in those media; it could be illegal to do otherwise. (See Kiwanis International Policy B for complete social media guidelines.)
These policies can be found in Kiwanis International Policies and Procedures as Procedure 432.
YOUTH PROTECTION GUIDELINES (effective October 2016) Behavioral or Health Issues: Kiwanians are often seen by a young person as an adult to trust with personal and/or sensitive information. Kiwanians should refrain from counseling youth and should instead find, or assist the young person in finding, appropriate expert assistance. Conflicts with Other Rules: Whenever these guidelines conflict with local school policies or rules, or local state/provincial, or national laws or regulations, the highest applicable standards for conduct shall prevail.
These policies can be found in Kiwanis International Policies and Procedures as Procedure 432.
