Most of our activities are involved in community service that has a positive impact on children and youth. We mix this with social and networking opportunities.
Scholarship Program
Danbury Kiwanis provides scholarships to the Greater Danbury area graduating seniors to honor their academic and community service activities during their high school careers. Weighted consideration is given to Key Club members for their participation in Kiwanis Key Club activities. We have granted between $6,000 and $9,000.00 in scholarships annually.
Halloween on the Green(since 1992)
Held on the Danbury Green in conjunction with City Center Danbury and JCI, this is a day of fun with Halloween activities and a costume parade. Frequently, Kiwanis gives away children’s reading books to participants as part of our Reading is Fundamental Program.
