What is the National Exchange Club?
The National Exchange Club is America's Service Club,chartered in 1917 as a
national club derived from four local clubs created between 1911 and 1917 in
Detroit, Toledo, Grand Rapids and Cleveland.
Organized as a non-profit educational organization, the organization has
evolved over the last 95 years into a nationwide community service
organization with chapters in 800 communities, and more than 28,000 members.
The Exchange Club is dedicated to community service in many areas, from the
organization's overall national project of child abuse prevention, to an
array of programs of service that focus on Americanism, Community Service,
and Youth.

Covenant of Service
(Adopted as the philosophy which characterizes an Exchangite)
"Accepting the divine privilege of single and collective responsibility
as life’s noblest gift, I covenant with my fellow Exchangites:
To consecrate my best energies to the uplifting of Social, Religious,
Political and Business ideals;
To discharge the debt I owe to those of high and low estate who have served
and sacrificed that the heritage of American citizenship might be mine;
To honor and respect law, to serve my fellowmen, and to uphold the ideals
and institutions of my Country; To implant the life-giving, society-building
spirit of Service and Comradeship in my social and business relationships;
To serve in Unity with those seeking better conditions, better
understandings, and greater opportunities for all."
