Overview
Mission
The kiwanis club of Washington, d.c. Was founded in 1917. It is one of over 7,500 clubs in kiwanis international, a global organization of volunteers who organize about 150,000 service projects each year to help people, especially children, in need.
What it reported doing in 2024
Large scale service project: supporting and mentoring youth advocates and leaders (smyal): through youth leadership, smyal creates opportunities for lgbtq youth to build self-confidence, develop critical life skills, and engage their peers and community through service and advocacy. Since 1984, smyal has been providing services to lgbtq youth through education, scholarships, housing, and other after school services. The 2023-2024 calendar year is the third of the club's partnership with smyal as our large-scale service project. During this program year, smyal was advancing their clinical services program to ensure that lgbtq youth had access to mental health counseling that is affirming, empowering, and accessible. Funds from the kiwanis club assisted smyal with expanding their outreach within the dc community and increasing execution of one-on-one therapy, group counseling and case management support to the community.
