The Aktion Club is the newest member of the sponsored and supported organizations and programs of Kiwanis International. The Friendship Community Aktion Club was chartered in 2004 by the New Holland Kiwanis as a community service club for adults who live with a disability. Kiwanis business leaders work with the Friendship Community Aktion Club leaders to provide guidance and advisement and to help them develop leadership skills.  Members strive to return to their communities the benefits, help, and care they have received, as well as develop important skills in the process. 

The mission of Aktion Club is to:

Provide adults with disabilities an opportunity to develop initiative and leadership skills.

Serve their community.

Be integrated into society

Demonstrate the dignity and value of citizens living with disabilities.
