Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Oak Ridge, TN! We have a mixture of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds and interests. We want to make our community and the world a better place for children so they can thrive. We are devoted to serving the children and youth in our local community and also children all across the country and worldwide through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives.
Kiwanis members from the Kiwanis Club of Oak Ridge and Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village stand with representatives from the American Museum of Science and Energy with a bench sponsored by the clubs [March 2024].
Kiwanis helps kids around the world. Our Kiwanis club looks out for our community and the Kiwanis International organization takes on large-scale challenges, such as fighting disease and poverty. Our Kiwanis club is generous with its time. We are creative with our ideas. We are passionate about making a difference. And we have fun along the way!
For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.

Earlier this month, the Kiwanis Club of Oak Ridge presented Dyllis Springs Elementary with a donation of $1,510 to support the purchase of books and literacy materials.
The grant initiative, focused on encouraging elementary students' literacy and participation in reading both in and out of the classroom, was funded through partnerships with the Kiwanis International Children’s Fund Microgrant program, Kiwanis Club of Oak Ridge project funds, and Altrusa Foundation support.
“Kiwanis of Oak Ridge has a proud tradition of working to support youth in our community,” said William Gwin, KCOR President, “from the Boy Scouts to Graduation Celebration to literacy projects Kiwanis recognizes that youth are our future. We extend heartfelt thanks to our community partners, parents, and educators as we all pitch in to promote the well-being of our children.”
Club members look forward to continuing to support the school in their literacy initiative, providing opportunities for Club Members to participate in reading-centered activities in the classroom.
