About Our Club
The Kiwanis Club of Burbank has been in continuous service since 1922. In this, our 99th year, we continue to provide physical, moral, and financial support for dozens of projects, events, youth groups, and fundraisers throughout the year.
An all volunteer organization, the Kiwanis Club of Burbank is proud to be the largest service organization in the City of Burbank. Through its many projects, the club strives to teach children leadership, good citizenship, self confidence, work ethic, respect for others, and of course, instill the spirit of service. It is no wonder that the motto of Kiwanis is “Serving the children of the world”.
Join us any Wednesday at noon on ZOOM (see instructions on home page to get an invitation, or email info@BurbankKiwanis.org ) and learn about our mission! We usually meet at the Burbank Community YMCA @ 12 noon, but won't be back there until the Covid restrictions are lifted
