The Rosemead Kiwanis Club endorses and supports the multi-year Major Emphasis Program (MEP), begun by the Kiwanis International Board in 1990, called "Young

Children: Priority One."

This initiative is intended to encourage addressing of needs of children from prenatal development to age 5. Our club facilitates this initiative by making free literature, such as the brochures listed elsewhere on this site, available in downloadable .pdf format for use by interested organizations and individuals..

We are also able to selectively offer outlines for educational programs on a variety of themes using materials prepared by Kiwanis International.  These programs are meant to be used on a co-sponsorship basis by a Kiwanis-connected Club and interested religious and civic groups. 

In some cases we may be able to assist in arranging speakers. 

The following topic outlines are presently available (note that many are meant to be used in conjunction with the brochures referenced above) - click on links to view the entire .pdf file:
