Civitan Creed
I AM CIVITAN: as old as life, as young as the rainbow, as endless as time.
MY HANDS do the work of the world and reach out in service to others.
MY EARS hear the cry of children and the call throughout the world for peace,
guidance, progress, and unity.
MY EYES search for others to join in the fellowship and service of Civitan.
MY MOUTH utters the call to daily duty and speaks prayers in every tongue.
MY MIND teaches me respect for law and the flag of my country.
MY HEART beats for every friend, bleeds for every injury to humanity,
and throbs with joy at every triumph of truth.
MY SOUL knows no fear but its own unworthiness.
MY HOPE is for a better world through Civitan.
MY MOTTO: builders of good citizenship.
MY BELIEF: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
MY PLEDGE: to practice the Golden Rule and to build upon it a better
and nobler citizenship.
The Foundation was formed on September 19, 1994. Originally the South Carolina District Civitan Foundation, delegates at the South Carolina District Convention voted unanimously to establish the Foundation and to have Civitan International manage the funds for the South Carolina Foundation. In 2022 the South Carolina District of Civitan International merged into the Region 2 District with Georgia and Florida. The Foundation became a separate entity from Civitan International and became the Hope for a Better South Carolina Foundation.
In July 1995, the Foundation Fellows Program was established to aid in funding. The Fellows Program is available for any club, individual, family, or group to recognize another person by contributing $300.00 to the Hope for a Better South Carolina Foundation.
