The Corporation will raise funds, promote the program with the public, solicit grant applications from citizens, use funds to award small grants, and develop community awareness of the completed projects. The program will encourage projects and help fulfill the five promises promoted by "America's Promise." Signature programs include the Small Grants Program, Global Youth Service Day, the Extra Mile Award, the Sheris Growe Youth Service Leader of the Year, and the City's Annual Youth Collaboration Breakfast. By accomplishing these functions, the Corporation will strive to develop a highly positive Kiwanis image throughout the community and encourage membership in the Kiwanis clubs of Arlington.
