Old Capitol Sertoma is a service club of members from the Iowa City-Coralville area. The club's stated civic goal is to provide assistance and aid to those with hearing, speech, and other communicative disorders. In addition to assisting individuals with hearing and speech devices, the club locally provides funding and assistance for programs and devices at agencies and organizations such as the Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Clinic, the Center for Disabilities and Development at the University of Iowa, the Englert and Riverside Theatres, the University of Iowa theatres, and the Iowa City Public Library. The club's other civic purpose is to educate regarding our country's national heritage through sponsorship of an essay contest each year for eighth grade students in Johnson County that focuses on current issues that tie into our country's national heritage. Old Capitol Sertoma also provided funding for the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts' assisted listening devices.
