Kiwanis Club of Ventura was founded October 22, 1925. The club began with about 25 members and has grown to its current membership of 44 . Over the years, the club has held many fundraisers, including pancake breakfasts, basketball tournaments, yard sales and the Cool Breeze Bike Ride.

We help out in the community in a variety of ways, including sponsoring youth groups at local elementary, middle and high schools, raising money to benefit children and children's support groups, and providing scholarships for high school students. The club sponsors Law Day and Firefighter Services & Heroes Day. The club provides volunteers for the Kinetic Sculpture Race and Pier Under the Stars events.

The club has enjoyed a rich history over the years, with its members coming from fields like accounting, banking, education, human resources, insurance, law, management, real estate and many more. We have developed a partnership with the Ventura Unified School District through the VEP (Ventura Educational Partnership) and provide volunteers for many of their events including Summerfest and Bravo as well as being the title sponsor of the Ventura Talent Festival each year.
