"Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time."

Chico Kiwanis - Making an Impact Locally

For over 50 years, the men and women of Chico Kiwanis Club have provided nearly half a million dollars for local projects and volunteered thousands of hours of service to others.

Our members believe in forwarding causes that benefit the children of our community. Our club meetings are held once a week and offer an atmosphere of fun, leaning and fellowship.

What opportunities are there in my community for my whole family to serve?

Chico Kiwanians, like Kiwanians around the globe, have one common goal: To serve the children of the world. Kiwanis advocates this vision every day by providing opportunities to serve for every member of a community through Service Leadership Programs. Through these opportunities, youth and young adults around the world become competent, capable, and compassionate leaders.
