Mission Statement “To provide resources for The National Exchange Club’s Programs of Service and its national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse.”

Changing Lives For two deserving students each year, the dream of attending college becomes a reality, thanks to Youth of the Year and A.C.E. scholarships. Since 1973, your National Exchange Club Foundation has distributed over a quarter of a million dollars in college scholarships.

Safeguarding our Children Every day, children across America dream of having safe place to be, free from harm. Thanks to your network of Child Abuse Prevention Programs, those dreams can come true as families learn to break the cycle of abuse. Over the past 30 years, we have helped more than 778,000 families do so, creating a safer childhood for more than 1.8 million children.
