What We Do

Kiwanis Youth Programs

Kiwanis International is a "family" of organizations that focuses on teaching young children about the responsibilities of good citizenship, community service and building future leaders.

The Kiwanis Club of Lindenhurst sponsors several local youth organizations including:
• Key Club of Lindenhurst High School
• Scout Pack/Troop #1421
• Challenger Baseball League
• Lindenhurst Youth Center

Our sponsored youth groups independently initiate service projects and community service activities throughout the school year. Our club works through an adviser in each youth organization to coordinate our participation with their activities or to have them work with us on major service programs and fundraisers.

We are so proud of our youth groups and their accomplishments which make our community a much better place to live.
