The Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth hosts its annual Cool Kids Read service project in partnership with Shawnee State University’s Project Bear program and the Scioto County Public Library. Cool Kids Read, first launched In the fall of 2021, was developed and implemented to promote literacy to second graders in six different school districts in Scioto County and encourage them to get excited about reading.
The participants are members of the Kiwanis Key Clubs at Clay, Portsmouth, East, Wheelersburg, West, Green, and Notre Dame high schools as well as Builders Club members from Notre Dame and Circle K Club members from Shawnee State University. These are all service clubs sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth.
On April 26, 2023, the Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth received an award fromServeOhio through the Ohio Commission on Service and Volunteerism for our Cool Kids Read program. The award came with a $1,000 grant to support the continuation of the program.
The ServeOhio Awards, made possible through support from the American Electric Power Foundation, recognize outstanding people, groups, and initiatives in each region of Ohio who make great contributions to their communities through service and volunteerism.
