WHAT IS KIWANIS? COMMUNITY SERVICE

The Kiwanis Club of Keene is a thriving organization of service-minded men and women who are dedicated to improving the lives of children in our local community. Our club is part of Kiwanis International which has nearly 15,000 clubs in 90 countries. Our members are from many different backgrounds and all walks of life, from recent college graduates to retirees. Members are unifi ed in their belief that our local children and our community benefi t from the efforts of an actively engaged group of caring and involved volunteers. Our club is committed to doing service that is close to our hearts and crucial to our community.

Our members are ordinary people who perform extraordinary “hands-on” work. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things happen!

Our club motto is “We Build Through Involvement” and our focus is on activities that make a positive difference in our community. There is no better feeling than bringing hope and opportunities to the kids in our community.
