What We Believe

The mission of Civitan International strives to promote the three principle goals of fellowship with one another, knowledge about the community at-large, and service to others. If these three principles are in balance, as a member you can serve more effectively while, at the same time, share experiences and relationships that will enhance your life.

Purpose of a Civitan Club

Membership in Civitan is open to anyone, without regard to race, creed, or color, who is at least 18 years old and of good moral character. Clubs have a great deal of latitude democratically deciding whom to become members.

The club's purpose is to serve the community, provide opportunities for member's fellowship, and increase members' knowledge. This is done by identifying needs not met by other organizations or individual efforts. In all they do, Civitans seek experiences that provide life direction, character building, leadership development, and the satisfaction of helping others. As the result of this, a Civitan typically experiences a heightened sense of self-esteem and accomplishment.
