Our Projects
The Kiwanis Club was formed to support the greater Peterborough community with the priority of serving children.  We have built a network of support for children in some of the following ways:

Sponsor and run Annual Bike Safety Rodeos to train children on bike safety and to  provide them with free bike helmets.

Provide free prescriptions to children as part of the Wellness Program.

Have twice held training for EMTs in the Monadnock area for child trauma. 

Contribute to the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute at the New England Medical
