Join Us at the Kiwanis Club of Roanoke
The Kiwanis Club of Roanoke is one of the largest and most active of the 15,000+ worldwide Kiwanis clubs, and the largest civic organization in the Roanoke Valley. We give back to our community by supporting youth programs, helping the elderly, working on environmental projects, and more!
The Kiwanis Club of Roanoke holds weekly meetings, available in person or virtually via the Zoom link below, where high-caliber local speakers present timely and relevant topics. Many focus on the under-40 demographic and the business community. Networking is an important element for our civically engaged Club members. Our membership includes city and state government leaders, corporate leaders, nonprofit leaders, church leaders, civic-minded residents, the 2021 Roanoke City Citizen of the Year, and the 2023 Roanoke City Citizen of the Year. Strong connections and friendships are formed here.
We meet on Wednesdays in Charter Hall on the third floor of the Roanoke City Market Building: lunch and networking at 12:00pm, announcements and business at 12:30pm, and a speaker at 1:00pm. Guest attendance is free of charge, with no obligation, and includes lunch! The Kiwanis Club of Roanoke has been serving the Roanoke community for over 100 years and would be delighted to have you join us. Community service is our bread and butter, and we would be honored to have you join us!
