Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Stamford!
Founded in 1917
 
Serving Stamford for 95 years!

Thanks for stopping by to learn more about the Kiwanis Club of Stamford. Our website is an on-going project, please bear with us. The Kiwanis Club is on the move; we invite you to check us out online and in person and consider becoming a Kiwanian.  Our Club is  diverse with members who possess a wide variety of skills and talents. While we welcome all new members who have the desire to serve our community, we have a specific need for a new member who has web experience and a new member with public relations experience.

Club Selects Project Hope for 2012
Kiwanis One Day Project

April 21, 2012 is a special day for the Kiwanis family in Stamford and around the world. It is the one day per year when all Clubs, around the globe, are asked to complete a large scale service project that fills a need in their community. In 2009 the Club painted Palermo House for ARI, in 2010 we renovated the library at the Boys and Girls Club, in 2012 we renovated the kitchen at the Boys and Girls Club.

This year we have selected Project Hope, a Domus outreach program intended to reduce youth violence by helping connect disenfranchised or disengaged youth and others to positive activities. While we are currently working out the details, we hope to be able to paint their community room, computer lab, library and Board room, enhance their kitchen, expand their selection of books in their library and provide them with 12 refurbished computers and 4 laser printers.

More details to follow and some before and after pictures too!
