What is Exchange?

The Exchange club of Gratiot County is a Community Service Organization comprised of people dedicated to the youth of our community.

Exchange Club of Gratiot County is a part of the National Exchange Club, a nonprofit organization comprised of more than 33,000 men and women throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.  The history dates back to the late 1800's when a group of businessmen began meeting for lunch in Detroit.  At that time, the group was known as the Booster's Club and, later the name was changed to Exchange because the exchange of information was the primary focus. The organization was formally incorporated and headquarters were established in Toledo in 1917. In 1979, Child Abuse Prevention was adopted as the Exchange's national project.
We, in Gratiot County, are proud to be a part of this active, vibrant network of youth oriented Americans working to serve their fellow man and improve the quality of life for all our citizens.
