Our Club regularly welcomes guest speakers from local charities, nonprofit organizations, schools, and community initiatives whose work aligns with the Kiwanis mission of serving children and strengthening our community. These presentations provide our members with a meaningful opportunity to learn firsthand about the needs, challenges, and successes of organizations that are making a difference throughout North Idaho.
The Guest Speaker program helps keep our Club connected to the broader network of service-minded groups in our region. By hearing directly from community leaders and volunteers, we gain insight into important local issues, discover new ways to collaborate, and identify opportunities where Kiwanis members can lend their time, energy, and resources to support worthwhile causes.
If you represent a charity or community organization in the area and would like to share your work with our Club, we would be glad to hear from you. Please reach out through our Contact Us page, and a member of our team will be happy to connect with you about scheduling a future presentation.
