ACTION Sertoma Club is a member of Sertoma Inc. Sertoma, Inc was founded in 1912. We have clubs located in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Sertoma has made an incredible impact for more than a century of service to communities across the nation. The dedication to fostering communication, supporting hearing health, and enriching lives is truly commendable. Together, we've achieved remarkable milestones, and we continue to embody the spirit of service, compassion, and community that defines Sertoma. Here's to many more years of making a positive difference in the lives of others.

Action Sertoma was chartered on November 11, 1967 as a club by our Founding Members, Roger Harpold, Gene Esposito, Sr. and Richard Finger. Action Sertoma is now the largest Sertoma club in the State of Illinois. In 1971, Action Sertoma (originally chartered as Alsip Sertoma) was instrumental along with the Evergreen and POW-R Sertoma Clubs in establishing the Sertoma Centre, now Sertoma Star Services, and the Sertoma Speech and Hearing Center. These facilities provide state-of-the-art services and programs to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, hearing impaired and promoting hearing health. Additionally, Sertoma Star Community Mental Health and Counseling has been a leader in supporting those living with mental illness. All these services provide choices and opportunities for persons with disabilities and their families through a culture of innovation and caring to enrich their lives and maximize their independence. Additionally, we have donated to other organizations in need along the way. Visit our website for more details.
