How We Serve
Kiwanis members are committed to providing their clubs, communities, and the world with service. In fact, members dedicate approximately 6 million service hours per year conducting charitable programs. And nearly two-thirds of Kiwanis clubs devote more than 500 hours to service projects annually, with individual members averaging 24 hours of service per year.

Kiwanis clubs and members undertake nearly 150,000 service projects each year, contributing more than $107 million and 6.2 million volunteer service hours. Together, we’re changing the world, one child and one community at a time!

Outer Banks Kiwanis Club and Community Partners
The Outer Banks Kiwanis Club is dedicated to children’s programs, specifically youth education and cancer prevention. In 2006 we teamed up with Yuengling Brewing Co., Coastal Beverage, Village Realty and the Friends of Jockey's Ridge to stage the 2006 Yuengling Nags Head Woods 5K and the Village Realty 1 Mile Family Fun Run, and we netted around $30,000 for the following charities:

Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs
Kiwanians around the globe have one common goal: To serve the children of the world. Kiwanis advocates this vision every day by providing opportunities to serve for every member of a community through Service Leadership Programs. Through these opportunities, youth and young adults around the world become competent, capable, and compassionate leaders.

Key Club - for high school students
245,000 high school leaders from 24 countries unite every day to provide service in their homes, schools, and communities, and complete more than 12 million hours of service. Key Clubbers work to help eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa, stop premature birth, and battle for the rights of children in their communities.

Outer Banks Kiwanis Club and MHS Key Club
The Outer Banks Kiwanis supports the civic development of students at Manteo High School by sponsoring the Manteo High School Key Club. Students in the Key Club learn about the importance of community involvement by joining the Kiwanis members in fund raising events such as our Pizza Nights.

The Kiwanis liaison to the Key Club is Gail Hutchison.
