About our Kiwanis club

Our Mission

The Kiwanis Club of Jersey City is dedicated to serving youth and strengthening the Jersey City community by providing meaningful opportunities for growth, leadership, and support. We are committed to improving lives and creating brighter futures—one child and one community at a time.

What We Do

The Kiwanis Club of Jersey City brings neighbors together to make a positive impact through community service and local programs that support children and families. We organize and participate in service projects, fundraisers, and events tailored to local needs—helping youth succeed, supporting families, and enhancing community well-being. Our efforts include:

  • Community Service Projects that address local needs in Jersey City.
  • Fundraising Initiatives that support youth programs and community resources.
  • Collaborations and Partnerships with local schools, nonprofits, and community leaders to amplify positive change.
  • As part of the global Kiwanis family—known for empowering communities to improve the world—our work reflects both local impact and a larger commitment to serving children and families everywhere.

For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.

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.
