Civitan's are everyday citizens just like you and me, who come together in communities throughout the world to make like better for their neighbors through service, knowledge and fellowship.

The Northwest Civitan Club consists of members of all ages from a variety of backgrounds.  Some are professionals who work full-time, others are retired and some are families.  Yet we share one common purpose...to give back to our communities through Civitan service.  And we all enjoy the knowledge and fellowship that comes with Civitan membership!

Knowledge:  Information Programs

Civitans seek to be more informed about their communities and improve themselves through lifelong learning.  Each club meeting begins with your meal and fellowship and continues with a guest speaker and program.  Programs range from community issues addressed by local government, business and media leaders to personal and professional development topics.

Fellowship:  Is Friendships

Fellowship is an important part of a growing, productive service club, and Civitan offers its members many opportunities to socialize, meet new friends and network with business associates.  Working together on club projects is fun, and there's always time to enjoy the company of other members and guests at club meetings.
