The Kiwanis Club of Folsom Lake are an eclectic mix of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds and interests. We are all passionate about making our community and the country a better place for children so they can thrive.  We are devoted to serving the children in our local community and also children all across the country through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives.


As a club we have proudly partnered with local organizations such as Folsom/Cordova School District, the City of Folsom, Folsom Chamber of Commerce, Folsom's HOPE, Powerhouse Ministries, Twin Lakes Foodbank to name a few, to local Eagle Scouts and their projects.


Kiwanis Clubs everywhere serve three areas of community engagement...

* We raise and distribute funds to community service projects that better the community.

* We put our backs into these projects as volunteers.

* We foster the next generation of leaders through school-based Kiwanis clubs, Key Clubs (Service Leadership Program).


The Kiwanis Club of Folsom Lake members stage many service projects amounting to thousands of hours of service a year. Each year we raise money to be distributed throughout the community, to fund projects in schools and that serve families.  We have helped build playgrounds, restocked libraries, supplied food pantries, supported after school programs in elementary and middle schools, provided coats and backpacks, even maintained hiking trails. 


We build the next generation of leaders through a Service Leadership Program (SLP) with Key Club at 3 local high schools.  These clubs contribute hundreds of hours of community service projects the students learn to organize and complete each year. Key Club is the world's oldest and largest student-led service organization for high school students that encourages leadership development through service to others. 

Mission

Our Kiwanis club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child in our community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on our communities.

Needs

Our club funds project that make Folsom/El Dorado Hills/Cameron Park a great place for kids to live. These projects make positive impacts on the lives of students in our schools, families in need of support or aid, and helping improve the quality of life through our parks and outdoor spaces. We are a 100% volunteer organization and monies raised are given back to the community. We are proud of our success but realize success would not be possible without the generous support of people like you!

Think of it...

$25 buys a new backpack or Thanksgiving turkey

$50 sends a child on a field trip

$150 could help an Eagle Scout build a project

Just to name a few opportunities.
