Kiwanis Small Grants
This small grants program is designed to encourage caring adults and volunteer groups in Arlington to formulate and lead small projects in Arlington or in support of AISD schools that will benefit our youth. Each project should focus on meeting at least one of the five promises in America's Promise and involve both adults and youth working together. Each proposal must also be endorsed by a sponsoring organization (agency, school, church or Club) or by a supporting Kiwanian.
Speaker's Bureau
This service provides civic, faith-based, government, non-profit, and other community organizations a way of locating knowledgeable speakers on youth issues, programs, and resources. You may search for a speaker for your organization or list yourself as a speaker.
The Arlington Alliance for Youth
The Arlington Alliance for Youth, sponsored by Arlington’s Kiwanis Clubs, helps mobilize both citizens and key agencies around the five promises embraced by America’s Promise (www.americaspromise.org). The program’s five promises support our youth by encouraging caring adults, safe places after school, healthy start and future, marketable skills, and opportunities for community service. By fulfilling these promises, we help build the character and competence of our youth. Learn More!
Focus on the Five Promises
The five promises that are endorsed by the Arlington Alliance for Youth are keys to the development of Arlington as a City of Promise for our youth. The Alliance promotes the five promises because they are important to the development of our youth. If we as a community work at fulfilling these five promises, we help ensure that our legacy as community is one where youth can grow and mature into thriving adults. Learn More!
