Enriching the lives of the children of Bakersfield
We are passionate about making a difference. Helping Bakersfield children grow and succeed is at the heart of everything we do.
Our Club
The Kiwanis Club of Westchester, Bakersfield is one of 11 clubs in Kern County. It was chartered in 1961 and our 40 + members are from all walks of life, some currently employed and some retired, but all have the desire to help our community and make an impact on the world. Our main club meets Friday mornings at 6:30 AM. The group enjoys fellowship, breakfast, discusses service projects and hears community speakers on various topics. Meetings are adjourned by 7:45 AM. Please join us as our guest for a few meetings to see what we are all about. We meet at:
Tina Marie’s Downtown Cafe,
1534 19th St,
Bakersfield, CA 93301

Associate Members
Our associate members are made up of individuals that are unable, due to employment or other reasons, to meet Friday mornings. Associate members have the same goals as the main group but with a more flexible schedule.
The club meets periodically at various locations.

Together, we can change the world, one child and one community at a time.
