WHAT IS CIVITAN?

Civitan is a worldwide, all volunteer, non-profit, service organization where men and women have an organized way of approaching local community problems through service and fund raising.   We emphasize serving people with mental and physical disabilities, youth, senior citizens and the community.  Local clubs are supported by Civitan International, which was organized in 1917 and now spans over 21 countries. The three principals of Civitan are Service, Knowledge and Fellowship. The word CIVITAN  is a coined word that comes from the Latin word  "CIVITAS", which means CITIZENSHIP.

North Cobb Civitan Club is first and foremost a hands-on service organization.  We look for opportunities in our community where our volunteerism can be of most value.  Hands-on projects are selected at the local club level, which gives the club a unique responsiveness to its community.
