Our Community Service

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. The Kiwanis of Oxford, Ohio is dedicated to serving the local community through various service and fundraising projects. Our club has been in service to our community since 1926. We are part of Kiwanis International, an organization serving children for over 100 years.

The Oxford members are proud supporters and contributors to over 25 service projects and programs annually in the local community.  This includes being corporate sponsors of Boy Scout Troop 930, Cub Scout Pack 961, Crew, and Indian Creek Girl Scouts

The Oxford Club also sponsors Kiwanis-based Service Leadership Programs in each of the Talawanda School district schools.  They include:

  • K-Kids at Kramer, Bogan, and Marshall Elementary Schools – K-Kids focus on elementary students and provides them with opportunities to work together on service projects, develop leadership potential and create strong moral character.
  • Builders Club at Talawanda Middle School – Builders Club for adolescents provides students with opportunities to develop leadership, improve self-esteem, increase civic engagement and learn life skills through service.
  • Key Club at Talawanda High School -Key Club is the oldest and largest service organization for teens, and teaches leadership through service to others.
