Kiwanis clubs focus on changing the world by serving children, one child and one community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, many clubs sponsor a Kiwanis family club — K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; Circle K Clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities.
Kiwanis Santa Maria Valley uses fundraising to provide financial support to local high school seniors who need college scholarships and Allan Hancock transfers applying to 4-year universities. We also support the Good Samaritan Shelter, Back-to-School Shopping Sprees, Hope Village, and the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County.
