Community Service at the Jersey Shore

The Kiwanis Club of Point Pleasant is a family-friendly community service club based at the Jersey Shore focused on supporting children.

About Kiwanis

Kiwanis is a worldwide community service organization with more than 8,300 clubs across the globe. The Kiwanis Club of Point Pleasant is a local chapter serving the entire Jersey Shore, with members throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties. We provide a variety of service projects to the community throughout the year, mostly centered on supporting children.

In addition to providing community service, Kiwanians can have a huge role in mentoring young leaders. Our club sponsors the Key Club at Point Pleasant Boro High School and recently chartered the Kiwanis Kids (K-Kids) of Greater Point Pleasant for elementary-aged chiddren. The Kiwanis family, or K-Family, also includes Aktion clubs (for adults with disabilities), Circle K (for college students), Key Club (for high school students), Builder’s Club (for middle school students), and K-Kids (for students aged 6 to 11).

The Kiwanis Club of Point Pleasant is just one club in the New Jersey District. And there are 30 districts in Kiwanis International, so we can make big impacts worldwide. One of the ways we help others is through the Kiwanis Children’s Fund, which reaches children through grants, scholarship programs and Kiwanis youth programs.

A Flexible, Family-Friendly Way to Volunteer at the Shore

We realize that most people want to make a difference in our world. That’s why we’ve created a club that lets you fit volunteering, networking, socializing, and leadership development into your busy schedule. We have a General Meeting monthly, open to all, and a mid-month working meeting for paid members. Our meetings are casual and drop-in friendly, with light refreshments. This makes Kiwanis more accessible so more people can volunteer and, in turn, help more people.

This club is open to anyone over 18.

We hold some all-ages projects so parents can perform community service alongside their children. This gives you the chance to teach your children about the value in helping others. Children are welcome to attend our morning meetings, and we have an activity for them to participate in while we discuss club business.

Membership Benefits

To become a member of the club, you must pay yearly dues. Dues enable you to access a variety of Kiwanis partnerships, and go to support our many club, district and international initiatives. Dues cost $154 for the year and can be prorated throughout the year depending on when you join. Our Kiwanis year starts Oct. 1.
