EXCHANGE,
Inspiring communities to become better places to live
Indiana District Exchange Clubs
was officially chartered in 1924 when it first began serving the Indiana area. As a proud member of the National Exchange Club (NEC)—America’s oldest service organization founded in 1911 in Detroit, Michigan—our club is part of a nationwide network of volunteers committed to making our communities better places to live.
The NEC is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization with over 600 clubs and more than 15,000 members across the United States and Puerto Rico. Together, we uphold the core values of Family, Community, and Country, and work to promote Americanism, support youth, serve local needs, and prevent child abuse—our national project since 1979.

ONE IMMENSE DIFFERENCE
During the mid-1960s, Exchange embraced its national “Areas of Impact”, which heightened attention on the prevailing societal challenges of that era. This framework allowed local clubs to tailor their initiatives to the unique needs of their respective communities.
