About
Sertoma International
SERTOMA. A
curious word until three very important words come together in
unison: SERvice TO MAnkind. Sertoma's primary service project
is assisting the more than 50 million people with speech, hearing
and language disorders. Sertoma also sponsors community projects
to promote freedom and democracy, to assist youth and to benefit
a variety of other local community needs, as identified by the
individual clubs.
Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, Sertoma is a 501(c)(4)
not-for-profit international organization dedicated to "SERvice
TO MAnkind", with 20,000-plus members in nearly 700 clubs
across Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States. Every
year Sertoma clubs raise more than $20 million for local community
service projects. Through these projects, as well as grants and
scholarships, Sertoma clubs return those funds to their respective
communities - and they have lots of fun doing it while building
life-long friendships.
