Kiwanis International is a worldwide network of volunteers committed to improving the world one child and one community at a time. While Kiwanis International addresses large-scale challenges such as disease, hunger, and poverty across the globe, The Kiwanis club of Lake Oswego focuses on meeting the real, immediate needs of children and families right here in Lake Oswego and our neighboring communities.
As a local service organization, we are deeply connected to the schools, families, nonprofits, and civic partners that make our community strong. We generously give our time, talent and treasure, and work together with passion and purpose. Most importantly, we believe service should be meaningful—and joyful. We make a difference, and we have fun along the way.
For more than 100 years, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe, and healthy, regardless of where they live. When a child is given the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, and succeed, entire communities benefit. Our local efforts in Lake Oswego reflect this belief every day—supporting children one by one, family by family.

Kiwanis Service
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
Our Kiwanis club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child in our community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, many clubs sponsor a Kiwanis family club — K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; Circle K clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities.
