As a high school freshman, Katie Escajeda's passion for community service was ignited when she joined Kiwanis. Katie, Divison leader and President of the Citrus Heights Kiwanis, along with fellow guest and board member, Louise Brown, joins me to explore the shifting landscape of service organizations like Kiwanis, Rotary, and Elks clubs. As time constraints and outdated traditions challenge these clubs, Katie and Louise share stories of their personal journeys in service and highlight innovative strategies to attract younger members and businesses. Hear how Citrus Heights Kiwanis is creating a vibrant, engaging space for community involvement, sparking a potential resurgence in club memberships.

Discover the powerful role of Kiwanis in addressing the ever-evolving needs of children through Service Leadership Programs, flexible meeting times, and a greater online presence. Our guests shine a light on the strength of partnerships with local organizations such as local recreation and parks and Habitat for Humanity, and how these collaborations lead to impactful community initiatives. Through inspiring stories of volunteerism and financial support, we reveal the collective strength that emerges when organizations unite to address communal needs.

Finally, we explore the heartwarming transformations brought about by service initiatives through involvement at local high schools and the Kiwanis Family House. Hear stories of personal fulfillment and community camaraderie from projects big and small, from crafting garden boxes to supporting families during hospital stays. This episode is a testament to the enduring bonds and lasting impacts forged through community service.
