We are particularly proud to be able to offer scholarships to graduating high school seniors. For several years we’ve awarded as many as 10 scholarships. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic achievement, need and all-important community service.
EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR
Each year, the Kiwanis Club of Bainbridge Island selects the Bainbridge Island Educator of the Year from candidates nominated by students, parents, other educators and the public at large. Selections are based on the nominee’s contributions towards educating the students of Bainbridge Island. The educator receives a $1000 award..
STUDENT LEADERSHIP 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 Bainbridge Island sponsors two youth clubs:
Key Club (Bainbridge High School)
Builder’s Club (Woodward Middle School)
Our sponsored youth clubs independently initiate service projects and community service activities throughout the school year. Our club works through an advisor in each youth organization to coordinate our participation with their activities or to have them work with us on major service programs and fundraisers. Mr. Chris Miller coordinates our SLPs.
KEY CLUB
Our Kiwanis club sponsors and is actively involved with the Bainbridge High School Key Club.
