Activities: 

We have many yearly activities such as the Alzheimer's Walk in September, Breast Cancer Walk in October, Sippo Lake Kiwanis One-Day park cleanup, Kiwanis Miles for Kids, Stark County Hunger Task Force canned food drive, etc. We also add new projects as the needs of the community change. For our main fundraiser, we host a Fall Craft show in November. Students donate their time assisting crafters by setting up and tearing down booths, and by selling raffle tickets and baked goods. Students also donate baked goods for our bake sale and help sell raffle tickets. The proceeds from the bake sale and raffle are donated to Kiwanis Miles for Kids event, to help children in need in Stark County who may be in foster care.

Requirements to Join/Stay in the Club:

At least 25 of these hours must be from volunteer hours supervised by an organization or through the club ...the other 25 hours can be tracked on your own.  One hour of service = 1 volunteer or service hour. Students must attend meetings throughout the year.  LAST DAY TO JOIN: 9/26/24

NOTE: Names of students who have MET the 50 hour requirements are turned in to the JHS Registrar as validation of completion.
