In 2010, the Kiwanis Club of Fairfax instituted its signature program – Meals for Young Minds. Since then, the club has provided hundreds of thousands of weekend meals to needy elementary-aged children. Presently, we partner with a local early childhood education center to provide weekend meals to children with food insecurities.
Key Club College Scholarships
Through the Jerry Rich Memorial Scholarship and with help from the Friends of the City of Fairfax Regional Library, our club awards college scholarships every year to eligible Key Club seniors graduating from the following Fairfax County High Schools: Annandale, Centreville, Fairfax, Oakton, Robinson Secondary, Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology, Westfield HS, and Woodson HS. The award is based primarily on demonstrated leadership and service. Financial need is not a factor.

Service Leadership Programs
To offer youth leadership and character-building opportunities, Kiwanis International created Service Leadership Programs in 1925. Today, millions of students around the world participate inKey Clubs(high school), Builders Clubs(middle school), and Kiwanis-Kids (elementary school). Each of these clubs is mentored by a Kiwanis advisor and a faculty sponsor. Clubs are co-educational service organizations that complete service projects within their school and community. Each is a self-governing organization and elects its own officers, determines its own service activities, and establishes its own dues structure.
Our club members are advisors to the following Service Leadership Programs in Northern Virginia:
On a few Saturday mornings each year, our members put on yellow safety vests and pick up trash at Daniels Run Park and Canterbury Woods Park.
Little Free Library
In 2017, our club installed a Little Free Library at Main Street Child Development Center. Since then, members have donated or purchased books to keep the library well-stocked for the Center’s young readers.
