We work closely wiith service clubs and organizations. One of our key service clubs is Rotary International. Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.
Kiwanis International has a focus on children through their Young Children: Priority One (YCPO). YCPO is an ongoing service program of Kiwanis International, addressing the needs of young children. Kiwanis clubs are encouraged to carry out at least two YCPO projects per calendar year, though many clubs are able to do more — helping children, families, and communities with critical issues affecting youth. Healthy Brains for Children fits this mission of Kiwanis International and recognizes Kiwanis efforts in the prevention of prenatal exposure to alcohol by identifying clubs with projects
The National Exchange Club Foundation (NECF) helps local Exchange Clubs develop and maintain community-based child abuse prevention programs, as well as supporting Exchange’s Program of Service projects, which include Youth Programs, Americanism, and Community Service.
