Our Mission – Kiwanis of Banner Elk is dedicated to helping the youth in our community. Over the past 40 years we have given out over a million dollars in grants to help organizations that focus on the youth.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world, one child and one community at a time.
