Aktion Club

Aktion Club Week is celebrated the first full week of March and gives members the opportunity to show their community what Aktion Club is truly about: service. It’s a week designated to shine a light on Aktion Club and the impact clubs are making in their communities.

Every day has a special theme for clubs to follow. In all, more than 500 clubs have the opportunity to participate. Planning on participating? You can find more ideas, resource and information at Kiwanis International Aktion Club.


More than 500 Clubs Serving Their Communities

Aktion Club is the only service club for adults with disabilities, with more than 12,000 members worldwide.

Aktion Clubs draw members from various organizations that support individuals with disabilities, as well as other community programs. Aktion clubs can also be established at churches, libraries, YMCAs, lodges or similar facilities. A Kiwanis club, composed of like-minded, service-oriented people from the community, serves as the club’s sponsor.

Aktion Club is supported at the district level and by the Kiwanis International Office in Indianapolis, Indiana, which provides programs, literature and opportunities to relate to individuals with disabilities from countries worldwide.
