Who We Are

By definition, to volunteer is to help others without expecting something in return. But studies show that we do, in fact, get benefits from serving kids: A sense of purpose. A longer, healthier lifespan. New friendships. Leadership experience.

We’d love for you to come join us at one of our meetings or a service project. Please go to our Contact page and drop us a line!

Youth Programs

Kiwanis International is a “family” of organizations that focuses on teaching young children about the responsibilities of good citizenship, community service and building future leaders.

The Kiwanis Club of Ontario California sponsors two youth clubs:

  • Chaffey High School KIWIN’S
  • Montclair High School Key Club

Our sponsored youth groups independently initiate service projects and community service activities throughout the school year. Our club works through an adviser in each youth organization to coordinate our participation with their activities or to have them work with us on major service programs and fundraisers.

We are so proud of our youth groups and their accomplishments which make our community a much better place to live. The activities listed below are a small portion of the many projects they are involved in: 

  • Loaves and Fishes
  • Rose Float decorating
  • Food Drives
  • Food Pantry
