Personal Products Bag Assembly Project, May 2008

 

 

 


 

 

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.

 

 

The Objects of Aktion Club are the Objects of Kiwanis International:

  • To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.
  • To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
  • To promote the adoption and application of higher social, business, and professional standards.
  • To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.
  • To provide a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render unselfish service, and to build better communities.
  • To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism, which makes possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.

Q: What does an Aktion Club do?

A: An Aktion Club performs a variety of services for the community and cooperating agency. It conducts fund-raisers such as car washes, paper drives, and recycling projects to raise money for needs in the community. Aktion Club members perform a variety of community services, such as environmental projects, park beautification, food drives, nursing home visitations, and assisting Kiwanis clubs with their projects.

Aktion Clubs also take time out for fun! Aktion members visit zoos, go to sporting events, and visit museums, among many other activities. They play as hard as they work. If there’s an Aktion Club in your town, you can find its members anywhere there’s service to be rendered or fun to be had.

 

Q: What are the benefits of Aktion Club?

A: Individuals who live with disabilities often have many talents but little opportunity to develop or apply them. These special citizens have few chances to interact socially and sometimes little opportunity to function in society. Too often, they are isolated and dependent when they could be making valuable contributions to themselves and to the world around them.

Agencies that serve those who live with disabilities do their best to help clients reach their potential. Many of these agencies, however, do not have the funding or staff to provide the community-based social and recreational activities that their clients need. The volunteer effort of local Kiwanis sponsors can address these and many other concerns through Aktion Club.
