Civitan International

Civitan International is a global organization founded in 1917 in Birmingham, Alabama, which focuses on creating positive change for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities through local service clubs. With a commitment rooted in compassion, service, and respect, Civitan has expanded its efforts to impact lives at the grassroots level across the world.

A key element of Civitan's mission is the Civitan International Research Center, which conducts advanced research on brain-related issues including autism, Rett syndrome, and Down syndrome. As the only service organization dedicated to these critical issues, Civitan addresses the needs of the one in six people affected worldwide.
