Aktion Club

The mission of Aktion Club is to provide adults living with disabilities an opportunity to develop initiative, leadership skills and to serve their communities. We aim to develop competent, capable, caring leaders through the vehicle of service. Aktion Club is the only service club for adults with disabilities, with more than 12,000 members worldwide. A Kiwanis club, composed of like-minded, service-oriented people from the community, serves as the club’s sponsor.

Kiwanis One Day on April 1st

Our Aktion Club at Roeding Park’s Storyland

The Kiwanis One Day Service project had 100 members from the local Key Club, K-Kids Club, and Kiwanis. Our Aktion Club members put their painting skills to use by spraying 20 metal park benches and a long section of a chain link fence. All to help beautify Fresno’s enchanting Storyland amusement park for young children.
