ABOUT CIVITAN

Mooresville Civitan is a local club that dates back to 1977and part of the North Carolina West District of Civitan Clubs. All these clubs are part of the larger Civitan International. Civitan's are made up of volunteer service clubs around the world, dedicated to helping people in their own communities. Civitans have been helping people since the organization’s founding in 1917, by a group of businessmen determined to make a difference in their community.
In the 1950’s, Civitan adopted a special emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities. Civitan was one of the major supporters of Special Olympics International, and thousands of Civitans still support these local events. Civitan clubs also fund and organize special camps and events for people with developmental disabilities.
The Mooresville Civitan Club has certainly adopted this special emphasis as well as Mooresville Civitan's are out in the Mooresville and Lake Norman communities raising funds and sponsoring service projects.
