This Back-to-School Shopping Spree is OurSignature Service Project serving children 5-18 years. Based on school recommendations, children in need go shopping for school clothes and supplies with Kiwanis members and volunteers. With only a little bit of guidance, the kids get to make their own choices.

Kiwanis Sonora Service Committees
KIWANIS SONORA’S SUCCESS is the result of all members’ efforts via our Service Committees. We actively support children and families in need, special needs adults, and the community at large. You can choose to serve according to your interests on one or more committees or special projects.
Members enjoy getting together and meeting the needs of children.
YOUNG CHILDREN, PRIORITY ONE (Infants – 5 years)
KIWANIS SONORA believes reading is fundamental to a child’s success in life. Several times a year we bring books to kids enrolled in Head Start programs county-wide. We read to them in class and send their book with their name in it home for parents to do the same. Infants get books, too!
Young Children, Priority One also supports the Children’s Library, provides Adventist Maternity with preemie car seats, Foster Children Arts & Writing, and participates in the annual ICES Child Fair (Infant Child Enrichment Services).
YOUTH SERVICES (Kindergarten-High School)
Youth from grammar through high school need Kiwanis to sponsor activities important to them and to provide community volunteer role-modeling.
We support Tuolumne County bike safety training.
The Youth Services Committee oversees 4-H Achievement Projects, The Turkey Trot, ICES Children’s Fair, Duende Drama & Literature, the Children’s Christmas Party, Hope of America Awards (8th grade graduates), College Vocational Scholarships, and Soccer Team sponsorship.
Vocational Scholarships are awarded to graduating High School Seniors.
