Our Service Partners
We volunteer and support organizations in DC who align with our mission of helping children and youth thrive.
The Kiwanis Club of Washington, D.C. hosts the DC Student Leader Awards, a scholarship program that recognizes graduating high school seniors in the District of Columbia for their academic achievements and leadership. The scholarship welcomes students from public, private, and charter schools to apply, and scholarships are available to students planning to enter all educational pathways.
Our Large-Scale Service Project Partner
The Kiwanis Club of Washington, D.C. has partnered with The True Reasons I Grabbed the Gun Evolved from Risks (T.R.I.G.G.E.R.) Project, an organization working to prevent interpersonal gun violence through the intersection of youth development and public health. In the words of The T.R.I.G.G.E.R. Project, “ The LSSP funding will allow TRIGGER University to grow from a summer program into a year-round source of protection, connection, and opportunity for the youth we serve. With this support, we can continue showing up with consistency and care—every season, not just summer.” Our work with The T.R.I.G.G.E.R. Project means that hundreds of young people in DC will have a space to be seen, to be safe, and to become.
The Kiwanis Foundation of the District of Columbia is committed to providing $100,000 annually to The T.R.I.G.G.E.R. Project through 2028.
