| Sponsored Youth
Sponsored Youth consists of four Kiwanis International programs to guide,
educate and inform the youth of our communities. They consist of Circle K
for college students, Key Club for high
school students, Builders Clubs for
middle school students and K-Kids for
the elementary level students. At all levels, Kiwanis Clubs encourage our youth
to participate in service activities that benefit their schools and their communities.
The Alpine Kiwanis is the proud sponsor of the Granite Hills High School Key Club
(located in the city of El Cajon) and the Joan MacQueen Middle School Builders
