Summer Project Ideas for Exchange Clubs

Summer can bring stress and difficulties for many families. It may increase expenses as they search for childcare outside of school, while other children may face many days alone or with little supervision as parents continue to work. Summer breaks may also mean no lunches for many children. 

Exchange Clubs can make a difference and help create more positive summer memories. To help, consider the following:
· Summer lunch programs: many agency and organizations offer summer lunch programs for children; volunteer time or contribute financially to support this essential service.
· Assist in placing playground equipment in your local park.
· Set up scholarships through 4-H programs, Boys or Girls Scouts of America, a local YMCA, or Boys and Girls Clubs. This could provide recreational and educational camps or programming for children who otherwise could not afford these experiences.
· Contact your local Little League Association or recreational facility and volunteer to coach or assist with programs. Many programs could involve more children if they had additional adult support.
· Organize donations of bikes, games, and sports equipment.
· Check with local schools for opportunities to tutor children during summer programming.
· Establish free passes at your local community pool.
· Help prepare children for school in the fall. Use Exchange Cares backpacks to deliver the school supplies.

Exchange Club members have big hearts, a large commitment, and available resources. Thank you for making summer safer, enjoyable, and memorable for children in your community!
