We focus on serving children and youth in the Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego.

Hope of America Award
The Kiwanis Clubs of California, Nevada, and Hawaii established the annual Hope of America award in 1984. The Hope of America award recognizes and encourages students who have demonstrated academic accomplishment, leadership, and good character. These students should be potential leaders who have sustained our democratic way of life and exhibited outstanding citizenship traits.
Criteria for selection of a recipient include capacity for leadership, ethical and moral character and academic competence. 2025 honorees are below.
Kiwanis Club of Pacific Beach is pleased to recognize these students as being the Hope of America. Each student received a plaque and 25 “Mr. Frostie Dollars” to enjoy.
