Mission

Our mission is simple, to support and serve Long Beach, one child and one community at a time. The Kiwanis Club of Long Beach, founded in 1919, has always maintained a strong and respected leadership within the city. Members are small business owners, representatives of corporations, non-profit leaders, educators, individuals, retirees, moms, dads and anyone with a spirit of altruism and a desire to help make the community a better place by improving the lives of children and youth.Through hands-on service projects and financial grants, the Kiwanis Club of Long Beach strives to enrich the lives of our community children. Through many partnerships with organizations who also focus on service projects, we support families in need, the physically challenged, school youth programs and more. Kiwanis provides mentor programs and career enrichment to high school Kiwanis Key Clubs and the California State University Long Beach Circle K Club college programs that teach service and leadership sk
