Each year we award over $20,000 in scholarships to our local high-schoolers who have overcome huge challenges in their young lives and “turned-around” their unique circumstances to be the best that they can be, with plans for college and beyond! Past examples include kids who have overcome bullying; kids who have fought through and beat cancer; kids who fell in with the wrong crowd, but fought their way out of drugs and alcohol addiction; kids who have risen back to get good grades and graduate high school with their peers. This “Turn-Around Scholarship” is unique to Kiwanis. We believe that all kids deserve a chance and that those who have overcome life challenges go on to make the most and best out of their lives.
Awarding these scholarships to these deserving kids is what makes everything right in the world.
This year, the scholarship luncheon will be May 5, 12noon at Los Gatos Lodge, catered by Reverence Catering.. Scholarships will be in honor of our Community Heroes.

Our Kiwanis Club serves not only the communities of Los Gatos, Saratoga and Monte Sereno, but also reaches out to anyone, anywhere, in need.
When the devastating fires hit, we held a drive-thru donation drive for fire victims in Boulder Creek.
From the beginning of the pandemic, we helped deliver food to home-bound seniors every week.

Not just our club members, but every member of our family of clubs pitched in and helped. From the elementary school K-Kids Clubs to the Key Club members at Los Gatos High- we were in this thing together and were determined to help in any way possible. We still are. If you see a need - please let us know how we can help.
