Kin Campus Club of Victoria
A Non-Profit Student Led University Club Looking to Better our Community
Who We Are
We are a new, but steadily growing non-profit volunteer organization for any university student in the Victoria area wanting to get more involved in our community. We are a completely student-run organization built on the mission to help others. We organize monthly service projects that pertain a wide range of support services we decide on participating in as a club and are never restricted to any specific type of volunteer opportunities.
Joining Kin Campus Club provides students incredible opportunities to build their resume, get important life experiences, and network in the community with potential employers along with forming friendships and life-long memories. The club also hosts social outings between monthly or bi-monthly meetings for our members as fellowship is the most important value we hold.
​
We also provide current updates for individual volunteer opportunities outside our club and positions available in the community so our members have full access to all opportunities at their disposal in Victoria. All university individuals are welcome and encouraged to join Kin Campus Club of Victoria for life long benefits and connections!
Kin Campus Club was founded in 2018 by Dakota Willick, Samantha Hoogstins, and Elizabeth Rohlicek.
What We Do
Making A Difference in Victoria's Community
Squash Cystic Fibrosis
October Service Project
Hosted by: Kinsmen Victoria
Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser on November 3rd for families of those affected by the disease. Kin Club helped ensure the event had enough helping hands, and assisted in parking guests as they came throughout the day. The event was a huge success, and was fun for all. It was a pumpkin smashing ball!
Poppy Distribution in Support of the Royal Canadian Legion for UVIC's Campus
November Service Project
Hosted by: Kin Club UVIC
In support of local Legion branch 292, Kin Club UVIC distributed over 2,800 poppies on campus. The total number of donations from the university's campus, thanks to the help of our members was approximately $2,400! We look forward to continuing this service next year.
P.A.S.S Tent, Mental Health Aid Kits
Exam Period Service Project
This is our most prized community event we do as club that brings joy to all involved. We host this give-away near the McPherson Library on the University of Victoria's campus the final week of classes to promote positive mental health. Check out our page 'Our Events' for all the details on how we pulled this off for the Fall and Winter semester exam period!
Upcoming: Bob Ross Paint Night
Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser
This project is intended to occur in the 2019 Fall Semester where we will host a fundraising Paint Night at the Univesity of Victoria, instructed by the one and only Bob Ross (video tutorial). Ticket sales will include admission, a canvas, paint, and brushes, along with a drink ticket for one alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage. The bar will be open for those 19+ providing two pieces ID at admission. Bring your friends and creativity for a fun night!
​
A portion of the funds raised will go toward Kin Canada's most supported cause: Cystic Fibrosis Research.
Fundraising Opportunities
Kinsmen Parking Ushers
The Victoria Kinsmen have graciously let our club join them for fundraising opportunities which includes parking usher shifts at a lot near the Save On arena. Parking in the lot is by donation and the money earned is split at the end of the night between our clubs. So far our club alone has brought in approximately $500, thank you Kinsmen!
Out of the Rain Youth Shelter Donation
February Service Project
This service project of the month was dedicated to gathering clothing and hygiene products for Victoria’s Out of the Rain Youth Shelter! As a club, we chose to support this organization because we respect their mission and appreciate the importance of sheltering homeless youth and providing them with quality means during Victoria’s colder months.
Thank you Out of the Rain for your service in our community, and thank you Kin Club members for your contribution!
