$20,000 Goal

Kiwanis Clubs everywhere serve three areas of community engagement.  

- We 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 (Service Leadership Program) 

Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club.  Kiwanis members stage hundreds of service projects amounting to more than 12,000 hours of service a year.  Each year, we raise over $100,000 to be distributed throughout the community, to fund projects in schools and that serve families. Kiwanis of Carmichael has built all-access playgrounds, restocked libraries, created food pantries, bought medical equipment, hosted diversity fairs, and stuffed backpacks with school supplies 

Kiwanis Clubs builds the next generation of leaders through Service Leadership Programs like Key Club (High school), K-Kids (Elementary), and Circle K (college).  These clubs contribute hundreds of hours of community service on their own each year. 

Kiwanis programs for youth and young adults help to create the next generation of community leaders. For instance, Key Club, the world's oldest and largest student-led service organization for high school students, encourages leadership development through service to others. Aktion Club, the only service club for adults with disabilities, helps members find purpose and self-worth through park cleanups, food drives and other projects. And programs like Bring Up Grades and Terrific Kids empower children to be accountable for themselves so they succeed in life.

Mission

Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide,

so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them,

nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.

Needs

Kiwanis raises funds each year to have the privilege of distributing them to the organizations and programs in Carmichael that help make it the wonderful community that is. We aim to create the greatest lasting impact in the community with every dollar we give. WE are a forward looking organization, so we give special priority to the next generations.
