About Kiwanis Club of Lakewood
The Kiwanis Club of Lakewood (chartered 1964) is a community service club in Lakewood, Colorado, focused on supporting children and youth through volunteer projects, school partnerships, and fundraising. The club meets regularly and engages members in hands-on community work and event volunteerism.
In recent years the club has concentrated on local youth programs (Key Club and K-Kids), school-supply distribution, and an international fundraising effort to support construction of a school in the Mathare area of Nairobi, Kenya (projected opening timeframe noted in club materials as January 2025). The club is organized as a local Kiwanis chapter under Kiwanis International rather than as a standalone 501(c)(3).
