About Exchange

We are one of America's oldest, non-profit Service Clubs. The first Exchange Club was formed almost 100 years ago in Detroit,MI by a group of individuals who got together to "Exchange" ideas on how to make their community a better place to live. Thus, the name "Exchange Club." Today more than 1,000 Exchange Clubs sponsor a wide range of activities to help build a better America. Our mission statement identifies us as "a group of men and women working together to make our communities better places to live through programs of service in Americanism / Patriotism, Community Service, Senior and Youth Activities, and its national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse."
