KIDS NEED KIWANIS
Kids are curious, lovable and hilarious. They are also wild, impatient and vulnerable. Kiwanis is looking out for kids in every corner of the globe with more than 550,000 volunteers who serve their communities through local clubs.
Welcome to Kiwanis Club of Bay Osos!
Serving Los Osos, Baywood, Morro Bay and Cayucos.
Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children and communities.
Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry,mentor the disadvantaged, and care for the sick.
They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and far more.
No problem is too big or too small.
Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, Great things happen.
We have fun too!

A special message from retiring Lt. Governor Al Strunk, Division 24, Cal-Nev-Ha District
Since 1982 the Kiwanis Club of Bay-Osos has served our local communities of Los Osos, Baywood and Morro Bay by providing signature events and funding centered on supporting our local kids. From the beginning, hundreds of volunteer members have barbecued tons of beef and chicken, burgers and dogs, flipped a boatload of pancakes, boiled and dyed or stuffed with treats thousands of Easter Eggs, aided our youth along the path from Cub Den to Eagle Scout, fostered young leaders through the Kiwanis Key Leader program, provided Morro Bay High School graduates with scholarship assistance, helped parent’s organizations in fund-raising at Los Osos elementary and middle schools and the Athletic Support Group at MBHS. We’ve done all of this while having a great time making good friends and meeting our neighbors.
Like all service organizations, the pandemic has upset our apple cart. At the time of this writing returning to full service and in person meetings is in abeyance. However, for more information and updates please visit our website at kiwanisbayosos.org or look for us on Facebook.
We will return to service and welcome you to join us in our efforts.
