Investing in our kids means helping them navigate the digital world, too! We are proud to provide a grant to Cave Creek Unified School District to help bring the Digital Citizen Academy to local students with fellow Kiwanian Dr. Lisa Strohman, founder of the program.
Digital Citizen Academy helps students learn how to become safer, smarter, and more responsible digital citizens, covering important topics such as online kindness, digital safety, cyberbullying, digital reputation, healthy technology habits, and online relationships. The program provides age-appropriate curriculum and resources for students, educators, and parents.
We’re excited to help bring these important tools into our local schools and give students skills they can use both online and in everyday life! ...

Kiwanis Club of Carefree members joined Kiwanis Marketplace Thrift Store volunteers and staff to celebrate the Marketplace’s 12th Anniversary with a good old-fashioned Hoedown!
It was an evening filled with great food, fun prizes, plenty of laughs, and wonderful friendships, but most of all, it was a chance to celebrate the incredible people who have made the Marketplace such a success over the past 12 years.
The Marketplace is so much more than a thrift store. It is a tremendous example of what can happen when volunteers, donors, shoppers, staff, and Kiwanis members work together for our community and our kids.
Happy 12th Anniversary to the Kiwanis Marketplace, and a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey! ...
