The Kiwanis Club of Richmond brings together people who believe in strengthening our community by investing in its children. As part of Kiwanis International, we join a global network of volunteers improving lives one child and one community at a time.

For more than a century, our Club has been woven into the fabric of Richmond. With nearly 150 members, we are one of the largest Kiwanis clubs in the world — and one of the most active.

Fellowship

Each week, we gather for a lively speaker luncheon featuring public leaders and local experts. Members span every age, background, and career stage, creating a welcoming space for connection and conversation. Many say the fellowship is what keeps them coming back.

Service

Service is where our mission comes to life. We volunteer in Richmond Public Schools, partner with nonprofits that support young people, and participate in community events like the Richmond Marathon. Whether reading with students or rolling up our sleeves for hands‑on projects, we show up where children need us most.

Giving

Through the Richmond Kiwanis Foundation — our 501(c)(3) — we extend our impact even further. Responsible stewardship and generous contributions from members and supporters allow the Foundation to fund our service budget and award meaningful grants to organizations serving Richmond’s children.

Make a Real Impact

Your time, talents, and voice directly support children and families in Richmond. Every project, partnership, and grant is rooted in local needs.

Build Community

You’ll meet neighbors who care about the same things you do — service, connection, and strengthening our city. Lifelong friendships often start at our Monday luncheons.

Grow as a Leader

Kiwanis offers opportunities to learn, lead, and contribute in ways that match your interests and schedule. Whether you’re early in your career or decades into it, there’s a place for you here.
