what we do

When Kiwanis club members serve kids, they support the Kiwanis causes: health and nutrition, education and literacy, and youth leadership development. Thanks to those causes, members make an impact that lasts — from infancy to early adulthood.

Our focus is on raising funds and giving to the neediest of our community with the specific directive of young children - Priority One.

who we are

The Cocoa Beach Kiwanis Club is a low-key, casual group, with a heart for our community.

Our club began in the 1950's as a men's only club. Today, our membership is balanced between men and women. This balance helps us to better represent the needs of of our community.

Internationally, kids need adults who care. That’s why people join Kiwanis clubs. They’re local groups of like-minded volunteers who make a difference. Friends. Neighbors. Anyone who loves serving together to change children’s lives. In fact, Kiwanians are part of a global network of clubs and members who partner with each other and with organizations whose missions align with ours. All around the world — Kiwanis International is serving the kids who need us most.

Many members have businesses of their own and may offer discounted services or products, or prize offerings if you sign-up through our website.

volunteers

Volunteerism connotes a mindset or a philosophy. It can also mean an attitude of service or a willingness to give back to your community — and in doing so, to make the world around you a better place.

As it turns out, volunteerism doesn’t just help the organization, population or community on the receiving end. Volunteering your time or energy can have amazing benefits for you, too. Below are a few ways that volunteering can change your life for the better:
  • Connection. Volunteering gives you the chance to meet new people and can improve your social and relationship skills. Volunteering with family members or friends can provide an opportunity to spend meaningful time with those people, thereby strengthening those relationships.
  • A longer lifespan. In addition to its emotional and mental benefits, volunteering can improve your physical health. Volunteering can lower stress levels and enhance peoples’ overall sense of well-being, both of which can have positive effects on physical health. Many volunteering opportunities also entail physical labor, which can be a great source of exercise.

Kiwanis club members look at the needs of children in their community and decide on projects that will benefit local kids the most. By coming together with others in your area, you can begin to make your community a better place for everyone in it. Reach out to your local Kiwanis club today to get involved!
