Community Service at the Jersey Shore
The Kiwanis Club of Point Pleasant is a family-friendly community service club based at the Jersey Shore. We serve Point Pleasant Boro and Point Pleasant Beach as well as the surrounding areas. Our impacts are felt around the world.
About Kiwanis
Kiwanis is a worldwide community service organization with more than 8,300 clubs across the globe. We are the parent organization to Key Club, which is a community service club for high school students. The Kiwanis family, or K-Family, also includes Aktion clubs (for adults with disabilities), Circle K (for college students), Builder’s Club (for middle school students), and K-Kids (for elementary school students.) These are all community service clubs centered on helping children, and the ones with students are known as “service leadership programs.”
In addition to providing community service, Kiwanians can have a huge role in mentoring young leaders. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of being a member of Kiwanis. Our club sponsors the Key Club at Point Pleasant Boro High School and is chartering the Kiwanis Kids (K-Kids) of Greater Point Pleasant.
The Kiwanis Club of Point Pleasant is just one club in the New Jersey District. And there are 30 districts in Kiwanis International, so we can make big impacts worldwide. One of the ways we help others is through the Kiwanis Children’s Fund, which reaches children through grants, scholarship programs and Kiwanis youth programs.

A Flexible, Family-Friendly Way to Volunteer at the Shore
We realize that most people want to make a difference in our world. That’s why we’ve created a club that lets you fit volunteering, networking, socializing, and leadership development into your busy schedule. You’ll notice that we have two monthly meetings on weekends and weekdays—mornings and nights. Our meetings are casual and drop-in friendly, with light refreshments. This makes Kiwanis more accessible so more people can volunteer and, in turn, help more people.
This club is open to people of all ages, from anywhere in the area.
We hold some all-ages projects so parents can perform community service alongside their children. This gives you the chance to teach your children about the value in helping others. Children are welcome to attend our morning meetings, and we have an activity for them to participate in while we discuss club business.
Membership Benefits
To become a member of the club, you must pay yearly dues. Dues enable you to access a variety of Kiwanis partnerships, and go to support our many club, district and international initiatives. Dues cost $129 for the year and are due at the end of September, because our Kiwanis year starts Oct. 1. Past members of our service leadership programs are eligible for discounts!
Anyone can come to a meeting or a service project. Ultimately, we want everyone to pay dues so they can take advantage of all the benefits of dues-paid membership. To learn more about dues, visit kiwanis.org.
