WHO WE ARE.......

The Kiwanis Club of The Seacoast was chartered in December 1985. Since our chartering, we have been very pro-active in serving the needs of children, the elderly, and the less fortunate in our Seacoast community. In 2001, the Kiwanis Club of Greater Portsmouth merged with us and today we are one of the premier groups in the Seacoast when it comes to volunteer service.

Our membership is diverse and is comprised of men and women from over twelve different communities. It includes business people, retirees, and individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of others. We meet  Wednesdays at the Community Campus located off West Road in Portsmouth.  At our meetings, we discuss Club activities, hear about upcoming projects, and have interesting guest speakers from throughout the Seacoast area.

In addition to our ongoing projects listed below, we also volunteer our time and/or provide monetary contributions to help many worthwhile causes and organizations in the Seacoast region, including, but not limited to: The Salvation Army, Special Olympics, NH SPCA, Seacoast Family YMCA, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Familes First of the Seacoast, Maine Children's Cancer, Camp Sunshine, and NH Public TV. We are members of the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce and the Gateway to Maine Chamber of Commerce.

WHAT WE DO.......
 
 

To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.

To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.

To promote the adoption and application of higher social, business, and professional standards.

To develop by precept and example a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

To provide through Kiwanis Clubs a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.

To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which makes possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.
