Aktion Club is the newest member of the Service Leadership Programs of Kiwanis International.

Aktion Club is a community-service group for adult citizens who live with a disability. The mission of Aktion Club is:

• To provide these adults an opportunity to develop initiative and leadership skills.

• To serve their community.

• To be integrated into society

• To demonstrate the dignity and value of citizens living with disabilities.

Aktion Club members strive to return to their communities the benefits, help, and caring they have received, as well as develop important skills in the process.

Benefits
An Aktion Club can benefit its members in many ways through service and recreational events. These activities enable the members to:

• Participate in the active life of the community.

• Provide an opportunity to contribute to the community.

• Develop mechanical, creative, and intellectual abilities.

• Social interaction awareness

• Improve self-esteem

• Develop leadership skills

• Achieve personal and service goals

Welcome to the wonderful world of Aktion Clubs!  I can guarantee that the enthusiasm that you will experience as an Aktion Club member or advisor will be one of the most fulfilling things that you will ever know.

How to get started?  Kiwanis International makes it very easy for us to do by providing a wonderful "how to" kit. 

• Send for the Aktion Club Kit #1.  This kit is FREE and can be obtained from Kiwanis International via phone: 1-800-KIWANIS ext. 390 or e-mail www.aktionclub.org   
       This is a wonderful tool that takes you step by step thru the organizational process.
       Once you get this far, you will be impressed at how the ball will start to roll and how others will begin to offer help and support.
       The follow-up Kit #2 will carry you on from there. Keep me posted on your progress...

• Kiwanis International has a new recruiting tool for Service Leadership. 
       It is a DVD that includes segments on Aktion Clubs, K-Kids Clubs, Builders Clubs and other programs.  I will send you a special  form so that you can order this great tool.  It, too, is FREE!
