Locally, Stoughton Kiwanis has been around since 2000, serving the needs of Stoughton and its youth.
We are very involved with the local Youth Center, give an annual scholarship to a high school senior, read books to kids at the library, participate in Highway Cleanup and much, much more. If you like hands-on Volunteer work, Kiwanis is for you!
Perhaps our greatest claim to fame is the conceptualization and construction of the 2 year old Kiwanis Club of Stoughton Disc Golf Course. The course is located at Amundson Park, and was built by local Kiwanians with help from the City of Stoughton.
We meet at Venevoll Clubhouse (corner of Henry and Ridge Streets) for one hour, twice a month.
First Thursday of the month at 5:30 pm
Third Thursday of the month at noon
