ABOUT US

---

In 2016, our district had a wonderful time hosting the National Convention for the first time in over 40 years.

Meet Mike Reichek!  At the 2023 National Convention, our District was very excited and happy to have yet another of our members added to our list of National Presidents.  In January 2024, our reigning National President stepped down, and Mike was asked to step into the "Acting National President" position.  In typical Reichek fashion, Mike accepted.  Mike will be sworn into his term as National President at the 2024 National Convention in San Antonio, Texas!  We're happy to introduce our District's 4th National President, Mr. Michael Reichek!  Go Mike, Mike, Mike!

      At national conventions our district stirs up lots of spirit and offers up great hospitality to convention attendees from all over the country. 
Some say that we "just have more fun".

    The National Exchange Club was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1911.  To date, Exchange is the only service organization exclusively serving communities in the United States.  More than 630 local clubs, and nearly 18,000 members throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico provide individuals with opportunities to use their time and talents to benefit their local communities and the country.  Exchange’s core values are family, community, and country.  Adopted in 1917, and inspired by the 133rd Psalm, the organization’s Motto is, “Unity for Service”.

Through three Programs of Service – Americanism, Community Service, and Youth Programs –and Exchange’s National Project, the prevention of child abuse, local-level clubs fulfill important needs in their communities every day.

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 or have served in the Armed Forces. Americanism celebrates the country’s rich, unique heritage and inspires unity from coast-to-coast.

Community Service

Community service is the lifeline of Exchange, with local-level clubs devoting countless hours and dollars to serving their neighbors every year. Community Service is the Program of Service that most allows clubs to identify opportunities within their communities and offer assistance to fill gaps in services.  Since the first group of Exchange Club members convened, Exchange has set the bar high for community service involvement!  

Youth Programs

America’s young people are its most precious resource. For many years, Exchange Clubs and National Headquarters have sponsored an impressive selection of activities designed to benefit and encourage our nation’s youth.  Through college scholarships, mentoring and guidance, and service recognition, Exchange is making a difference for America’s youngest generations.

National Project 

The prevention of child abuse became Exchange’s National Project in 1979. To uphold its National Project, Exchange provides a variety of public awareness materials designed to help inform and increase awareness of child abuse and how it can be prevented. Such projects are implemented through Exchange Clubs and Exchange Club Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Centers across the country. Through the scholarly-reviewed Exchange Parent Aide home visitation model, child abuse prevention experts work directly with at-risk families.

The National Exchange Club Foundation is the fundraising arm of The National Exchange Club, supporting Exchange Club members as they inspire communities to become better places to live through projects in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Programs, and the National Project – the prevention of child abuse.
