About Us - Welcome to Kiwanis Club of Twin Cities!

Making An Impact!

Club meetings occur every Tuesday at Cafe Bon Choix (Waterloo City Hall) at 6:45 p.m. offering fun, learning, and fellowship. In addition to attending the meetings, a Twin Cities Kiwanian chooses which other projects and fundraisers he or she wants to be involved in.

Service projects often are linked to the Kiwanis program, 'Young Children: Priority One', targeting the needs of young children.

The Kiwanis Club of Twin Cities manages Kiwanis Park, two not-for-profit apartment buildings, Karlsberghaus one of the largest Oktoberfest Festhalls, and also helps with K-W Children's Charities, Victoria Park Christmas Lighting, Kiwanis Kavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps, and Twin Cities High School Student Bursaries.

Kiwanis also plays a special role in developing future generations of leaders. K-Kids clubs at the elementary school level, Builders clubs in middle schools and junior highs, Key clubs in high schools, and Circle K clubs at the University level all are Kiwanis sponsored organizations that teach community service and leadership skills to young people. In addition, Kiwanis also sponsors Aktion clubs made up of adults with disabilities. The Kiwanis Club of Twin Cities is proud to sponsor a Key Club at Grand River Collegiate and a Circle K Club at the University of Waterloo.
