Founded in 1958, the Kiwanis Club of Davis has been serving the local Davis community for the past 65 years. We are committed to organizing innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives to make the world a better place starting with the Davis community. We are known for our annual 4th of July parade, Crab Feed, Wine fundraiser, Charity Golf Tournament, and a School Supplies Drive. We support organizations such as the Kiwanis Family House, NorCal Trykers, and the Cub Scouts of America among others.

She has decades of experience with our state’s most vulnerable children as an educator, foster parent, and advocate. Since 1985, Schroeder has served as the Director of Foster & Kinship Care Education and Independent Living programs at Woodland Community College in Yolo County. In 2018, under the Child Abuse Prevention Center, she coordinated the development and launching of a statewide AmeriCorps mentoring project, now known as the CA Foster Youth Initiative. She was appointed to the CA Child Welfare Council in 2013, and participates on several CA Department of Social Services committees, including Healthy Sexual Development, Overuse of Psychotropic Drugs, Continuum of Care Reform Stakeholders, and Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children.
