Are you ready to make a difference?  The National Exchange Club, a service organization composed of some 700 clubs and 20,000 members across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, has built a new club in the Shelby County area. Exchange Club members have the opportunity to develop personal and business leadership skills and network with other members while completing service projects that benefit the community.  

Activities that new members can participate in include helping to prevent child abuse by distributing informational literature, awarding scholarships to deserving youth and participating in crime prevention and Americanism projects.  In addition to completing nationally supported projects, Exchange Clubs are encouraged to develop projects that meet the unique needs of their local communities.

Exchange, America’s Service Club, is a group of men and women working together to make our communities better places to live through programs of service in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities, and its national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse.  Founded in 1911, the organization is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio.
