What is Kiwanis?
Here is a quick video that explains what Kiwanis is.
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the daily lives of children.
Kiwanis members dedicate more than 18 million volunteer hours and invest more than $107 million annually in projects that strengthen communities and serve children. We help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged and care for the sick. We develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research and much more. We believe that helping a child helps the world.
Working together, Kiwanis members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream and succeed, great things happen!

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. We meet every Wednesday from noon to 1:00 p.m. at Shawnee State's Kricker Innovation Hub.
We recently hosted Karen Davis, Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Scioto County. She is pictured with Kiwanis President K.C. Rase.
The Boys & Girls Club focuses on academic success, and they teach character and leadership along with life and workforce readiness. "We want our kids to be safe, fed, and supported," she said. "We are trying to capture kids who have nowhere else to go."
The club recently relocated from the South Central Ohio Educational Service Center in New Boston to the Complex, the former West High School located at 1420 13th Street in West Portsmouth. They currently only pick up children from Portsmouth Elementary, but students are welcome from around the county with no income restrictions.
Who can join? Students in grades 1-6 (ages 6-13) are welcome, and the club meets from 3:30 to 6:15 p.m. Monday through Friday, with pickup by parents and guardians from 6:15 to 6:30 p.m. Summer hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The cost is free for members, but a three-day minimum attendance is required. Sign up online at bgcneohio.my.site.com/portal/s/login/?ec=302&startURL=%2Fportal%2Fs%2F (you will need to set up an account) or stop by the Complex to register in person.
If you are interested in enrolling your child, make plans to visit the Boys & Girls Club at one of its monthly family engagement nights from 4-6 p.m. on November 12, December 10, January 14, February 11, March 11, April 15, or May 13. For more information, contact Karen at [email protected] or call 740-352-9724. ... See MoreSee Less
