Kiwanis Club of Stockton

The Kiwanis Club of Stockton has been in Stockton for over 100+ years.

Today we organize and support various community service projects around Stockton throughout the year. Annual events such as Pixie Wood Clean-Up, Family Day at the Park, Festa Italiana, Clean up on the Mile, Greek Festival Parking, Salvation Army Bell Ringing, our Annual Crab Feed, and more.

Each year, The Kiwanis Club of Stockton gives out thousands of dollars in sponsorship funds and scholarship support to our local High School Key Club and College Circle K Servant Leadership Programs (SLPs).

Our main focus is providing SLP our youth with opportunities to grow personally and professionally through Leadership & Community Service.

Currently, we sponsor Key Club SLPs at these local high schools: Cesar Chavez, Edison, Health Careers Academy (HCA) Lincoln, Middle College, Stagg, Stockton Early College Academy (SECA), St. Mary's High, Stockton Collegiate International School, Pacific Law Academy (PLA), Weston Ranch, Weber Tech.

Note: University of the Pacific was once home to Circle K International (CKI) Club but sadly folded after the Pandemic.

(Circle K International (CKI) is one of the world’s largest student-led collegiate service organizations, with thousands of members on hundreds of campuses across the globe. The collegiate branch of the Kiwanis International family, CKI is committed to developing leaders by offering unique service, leadership and fellowship opportunities that change the world and the lives of our members. CKI members leave college with real-life skills in networking, advocating and service leadership.)

The Kiwanis Club of Stockton welcomes all backgrounds and supports youth in pursuing their college and career goals. Our members work closely with youth clubs, discussing events, offering scholarships, donating to nonprofits, and organizing educational and career workshops. Together, we strive to make a positive impact in our community by supporting and guiding the next generation.
