KIWIN'S (formerly Keyettes and Keywanettes) (pronounced "key-wins") is a high school service club program which operates under the umbrella of Key Club International as its 32nd District but has separate officers and conventions. It is exclusive to the California-Nevada-Hawaii district. This organization began between 1973 and 1974, when past Kiwanis District Governor Sid Smith's daughters wanted to participate in a service organization, but could not, as Key Club, the only one of the type at the time, was exclusive to males. Thus Sid Smith began Keyettes, which was renamed to Keywanettes, and then KIWIN'S. Today, both Key Club and KIWIN'S welcome both genders. KIWIN'S now has around 2500 members, approximately fifty chartered clubs, and nine divisions:
