not the filling of a vessel.

     volunteer your time and talents in
     North Alabama Mensa Kids.

     to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity;

     to encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence; and

     to provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members. 

Therefore, it is our belief that by creating a wide spectrum of frequent opportunities for exploration of potential talents, Mensa may enable individuals to determine their forte.  Therefore, it is our belief that the North Alabama Mensa's Gifted Children program should consist of a two-part system as follows:

A wide variety of programs open to all children up to age 18 who show avid interest in the topics and who have accompanying adult support.

Special interest groups for children up to age 18 who demonstrate exceptional ability and who have continuing adult support.
