SERVICE CLUB FOR KIDS
The Y and Warren Kiwanis Club partner to make a difference with Kids!
KKids: For youths in grades 3-5. Making a difference within the school and community is what K-Kids is all about! Club members identify needs within the school and community and develop a plan of action to meet those needs. Whether it's collecting coats and canned goods for those in need or organizing a teacher appreciation event, K-Kids members have the opportunity to work together with Kiwanis-family volunteers to make the community and world a better place.
K-Kids can provide opportunities for students to discover their heart to service. When students discover their heart to serve, they decide that serving others is a new, exciting way of life. The service club experience at a young age can help students accept their own ability to make a difference, enhance their knowledge of their own passions and convictions, and develop their ability to empathize with those in need in their communities.
