Prevention of Child Abuse
The prevention of child abuse became Exchange’s National Project in 1979. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to not only increase child abuse awareness but do all that we can to prevent it. The prevention projects in which our members take part in are implemented across the country by Exchange Clubs and Exchange Club Centers for the Prevention of Child Abuse. Through the scholarly-reviewed Exchange Parent Aide home visitation model, child abuse prevention experts work directly with at-risk families to create impactful change.
Our dedication to this important cause has earned us the Presidential Award from the White House Office of Private Sector Initiatives. Additionally, we are a charter member of The National Child Abuse Coalition and a Partner in Prevention with the Children’s Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Americanism
​The Americanism Program of Service promotes pride in our country, appreciation for the freedoms granted to American citizens, and gratitude to the men and women who serve/have served in the Armed Forces. Americanism celebrates the country’s rich, unique heritage and inspires unity from coast-to-coast.
Local Exchange Clubs support our active military members & veterans through projects such as Honor Flight, Veterans Matter, Wreaths Across America & others.
Youth Programs
​America’s young people are our most precious resource. They are who we trust with all our tomorrows, and for that, they deserve every ounce of time and effort that we can pour into them today. For many years, The National Exchange Club and local-level clubs have sponsored an impressive selection of activities designed to benefit and encourage our nation’s youth.
Through college scholarships at the community and national levels, mentoring, guidance and service recognition, Exchange is making a difference for America’s youngest generations. If you are interested in showing our nation’s youth just how treasured they are, we encourage you to become involved with this important program.
Throughout the Four Corners District of Exchange, clubs in Arizona, Nevada, Utah & Colorado participate in programs such as Toys for Tots, Boys & Girls Clubs, etc.

Community Service​
​Our Mission, Inspiring communities to become better places to live, is what drives many of our members to become involved with Exchange in the first place. Like you, they’re passionate about helping people in any way they can.
Through their desire to give back, local-level Exchange Clubs devote countless hours and funds toward community improvement, bridging gaps in services, developing partnerships that enhance opportunities for their neighbors and sharing members’ skillsets. Beginning with the very first group of Exchange Club members and extending into present day, we have set the bar high for community service involvement.
Community Service looks different in every community. The focus is on participating in projects such as collecting items for food banks, providing necessities to the homeless, providing travel assistance to seniors, etc.
