​

For 81 years, Kiwanis has been changing the world; one child, one family, and one community at a time. Since 1945, our all-volunteer club has helped build Kiwanis Park, develop seniors' housing, and launch Kiwanis Kid Readers, all in service of the South Okanagan.
 

We're more than a service club - we're neighbours who show up. Whether it's responding to wildfire recovery efforts, renewing local recreation facilities for the next generation, or partnering with local organizations to reach more families in need, our members turn good intentions into real, lasting impact.
 

Why join us?

• Make a visible difference: see the direct, local impact of your time and effort, right here in Penticton.

• Join a community of doers: connect with like-minded neighbours who care about the South Okanagan's future.

• No experience required: we welcome new members at every stage of life, with no pressure and no prior volunteering experience needed.

• Flexible involvement: get involved in the ways that fit your schedule and interests, from event planning to hands-on projects.

• Be part of something with history, and momentum: help carry forward 81 years of service while shaping what comes next.
