We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful community in Southwest Florida. Since 1993, the Marco Kiwanis have proudly supported local youth through a strong school system.

Our key programs include: Terrific Kids, recognizing excellence in 3rd to 5th grades; Kiwanis Books for Kids (formally RIF) promoting literacy by providing books to elementary students, Holiday Gift Program for local schools, Scholarships for post high school education, and Key Club & Founders Club , mentoring over 100 high schoolers & middle schoolers in leadership building Kiwanis of the future.
Whether you’re a year-round or seasonal resident, if you’re interested in joining us to improve children’s lives locally and globally, we invite you to consider membership.

Kids need adults who care. That’s why people join Kiwanis clubs. They’re local groups of like-minded volunteers who make a difference. Friends. Neighbors. Anyone who loves serving together to change children’s lives. In fact, Kiwanians are part of a global network of clubs and members who partner with each other and with organizations whose missions align with ours. All around the world — and in communities like yours — Kiwanis serves the kids who need us most.

WHY JOIN KIWANIS?

Kiwanis members build lasting friendships, develop new skills, and experience the reward of seeing their efforts directly benefit local children. Through service projects, mentoring, fundraising, and community outreach, members help provide educational support, essential resources, and positive experiences that can help shape brighter futures.
