Serving Children & Youth in Arlington County

At the Kiwanis Club of Arlington, we believe that we enhance the value of our financial support for these organizations by volunteering our time and talents as well. Each grantee is given a Kiwanis liaison who coordinates service between our two organizations. Join us today in serving the children and youth in our community through these activities!
