Aktion Club is a Kiwanis Club for adults with developmental disabilities, stressing service to the community and socialization.

Individualized Recreation Program is an effort to bring people with developmental disabilities into the mainstream of community by having recreation aides available to take them out into the community about two times monthly.

Arc at the Y is a cooperative program with the Kearney YMCA. Every Friday night from 6:30-8PM the Y offers its facilities at no charge to people with developmental disabilities and their helper. The Arc often will furnish supervised activities on Fridays also. (Call the Arc office for further information).

Summer Day Trips provide opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to get out of Kearney to see things like the Lincoln Salt Dogs play baseball or to hear a country music concert at the Adams County Fair in Hastings.

Saturday Crafts & Respite meet two Saturdays every month from 10-11:30am at Press-On Community Center, 604 East 13th Street. People create a craft item and enjoy visiting. Cost for each class is $3.00. Respite for children with disabilities is also available during this time.

People First of Kearney is part of a state advocacy organization for adults with developmental disabilities. This program helps members learn how to speak out and have the confidence to see themselves as People First-their disability second. People First meets the last Wednesday of each month from 4-6:00pm at the Kearney Manor Pavilion. Those interested in attending are encouraged to call the Arc office to verify meeting time and location.
