The Exchange Clubs across the nation use four programs of service to work in unity with others to meet the needs of their local communities and make them better places to live. The four programs of service are Americanism, Community Service, Youth Programs, and the National Program of Service – Raising Awareness to Prevent Child Abuse.
EXCHANGE CLUB PROGRAMS OF SERVICES
AMERICANISM
The Americanism program of service is designed to promote pride in the United States of America, appreciation of the freedom and other benefits that accrue to us as citizens of the United States, and appreciation and support for those in our country that have served in our armed forces or as first responders.

YOUTH PROGRAMS
America’s young people are our most precious resource. They are who we trust will 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 a variety 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.
