Kiwanis Summer Tutoring Program – Vacaville & Virtual
The Kiwanis Summer Tutoring Program (KSTP), originally launched as the COVID Catch-Up Tutoring Program (CCTP) in 2022, was created to bridge the academic gaps experienced by students due to the pandemic. Since then, KSTP has evolved to provide sustained educational support to young learners in Solano County, thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of our volunteers, students, and families.
In its first year, our program served 200 students, pairing them with 65 volunteer tutors who generously gave their time and skills to help these students regain confidence in their studies. By our second year, the program expanded to reach 222 students with the support of 70 volunteer tutors. This 2024 year, our program connected 116 students with 97 volunteers, allowing us to focus even more on personalized support, helping each student build a strong foundation for academic success.
Over the course of each 5-8 week session, our tutoring program offered both virtual and in-person sessions to ensure accessibility for students from grades K-5. Each student received support in a variety of subjects, including Spelling, Writing, Mathematics, and even Individualized Education Program (IEP) support. This free program provided more than just academic growth; it offered a safe, engaging space where students could experience the joy of learning and develop confidence in their abilities.
With locations spread across Solano County, the program was designed to be accessible to families throughout the area, making it possible for every student to find academic support close to home. This effort has not only benefited students but also empowered our community of volunteers who continually inspire us with their commitment to service and educational growth.

Kiwanis Club of Vacaville is excited to welcome Shauna Manina, recently named California Woman of the Year by Assemblymember Lori Wilson, as our guest speaker.
Topic: "Connect, Communicate, Collaborate"
Shauna's name is woven into the fabric of Vacaville. She helped form the Downtown Vacaville Business Association, organized Merriment on Main for 26 years, served on the Fiesta Days board for 24 years, helped launch what became the Vacaville Boys & Girls Club, and started Vacaville Kid Fest, the Creekwalk Concert Series, and Baskets of Hope. After 18 years with the Vacaville Reporter and five years leading the Dixon Chamber of Commerce, she is now focusing her energy back on the community she loves.
Shauna will share her latest project, "Backpack to School," providing free backpacks and school supplies to Vacaville School District children, while showcasing local arts organizations that serve our youth.
📅 Wednesday, May 27th 🕡 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM | Social time 🕖 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM | General meeting + guest speaker 📍 Mary's Pizza Shack | 505 Davis St, Vacaville, CA
🍕 Come early to connect and grab dinner, then stay for club updates and an inspiring presentation.
A little throwback to earlier this month when the Kiwanis Club of Vacaville had the privilege of teaming up with the Vacaville Parks and Recreation for their annual Breakfast with the Bunny event. This marked our third year being part of this wonderful community tradition, and it just keeps getting better!
Our team was up before the sun, firing up the griddles at 6:00 AM to serve the community fluffy pancakes, sausage, and potatoes, while the wonderful Parks and Rec crew rounded out the plate with scrambled eggs. Together, we sent families home with full bellies and happy memories.
We are especially grateful to our amazing Key Clubbers who volunteered their Saturday morning to help with the pancake-making process, assist with activities, and lend a hand wherever it was needed around the kitchen. Their energy and willingness to serve made the entire event run smoothly, and watching these young leaders in action was truly inspiring.
And a special shoutout to our very own Kiwanian who hopped into the bunny suit to greet families and pose for photos with the kids. 🐰
A heartfelt thank you to the City of Vacaville Parks and Recreation Department for welcoming us back for a third year, and to every family who came out to share the morning with us. Events like these are exactly what the Kiwanis spirit is all about: showing up for our community, supporting our youth, and making memories together. 💛
