Aktion Club is the only service club for adults with disabilities, with more than 6,400 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.
Objects of Aktion Club:
To develop initiative and leadership.
To provide experience in living and working together.
To serve the community.
To prepare for useful citizenship.
To accept and promote the following Kiwanis ideals:
Kiwanis Ideals
To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than 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 make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.
Motto
Where development has no disability.
Vision
To develop competent, capable, caring leaders through the vehicle of service.
Mission
To provide adults living with disabilities an opportunity to develop initiative, leadership skills and to serve their communities.
Core Values
Character Building: The ability to the right thing, even when it might be the unpopular choice. Leadership: The ability to listen, communicate, serve and guide others. Inclusiveness: Accepting and welcoming differences in other people. Caring: The act of being concerned about or interested in other people or situations.
Pledge
I pledge on my honor to follow the Objects of Aktion Club. To better my community, my country and myself. To help those in need. To demonstrate loyalty to our community and nation. And to encourage others to do the same.
Jacksonville Kiwanis Club is proud to announce it has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Kiwanis Children’s Fund to support a community wellness initiative at Buckner Park. The grant funds were combined with additional funds raised over the years through the Club’s annual Kiwanis Shootout fundraiser which made it possible to purchase new commercial grade outdoor fitness equipment for the community.
The project was completed in partnership with JEDCO and the City of Jacksonville, whose assistance helped bring the vision to life. The newly installed equipment is designed for all fitness levels, providing families with a free, accessible way to stay active and promote healthy lifestyles together.
Located adjacent to the existing playground at Buckner Park, the fitness area allows parents and caregivers to exercise while children play nearby. Kids are also encouraged to join in, making fitness a fun and family friendly experience.
The Jacksonville Kiwanis Club welcomes new members and meets every Thursday at 12:00 p.m. in the conference room at the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce. Meetings often include guest speakers or presentations highlighting community programs supported by the club. The organization also proudly sponsors and works closely with the Jacksonville High School Key Club.
