Unity Pledge, for a Stronger United States

The people of the United States have the great ability to heal our country. In a year filled with so much divisiveness and heartache, we can make a choice to work together – in unity – to create a country in which we all want to live … a country which we are proud to leave our future generations. Now is the time to see through anger and fear, to use the remnants of these emotions to do something tangible and impactful. 

As the face of Exchange, you are at the forefront of inspiring communities and reminding fellow citizens that 'Americanism' is NOT about politics, but rather about pride in our great country. Exchange is uniquely positioned throughout the country to take a strong lead in reuniting citizens around common values ... it is OUR Vision; a strong America, safe communities, and unified people.

Speak with your club officers and members, community leaders and influencers, local/regional/state officials, business owners, the media - help get some positive momentum behind this campaign. Lead by example, and others will follow!

Continue Honoring Youth: Virtual, Hybrid, or In-Person

Students need to be recognized, especially during these times. High school juniors and seniors are filling out college applications, students require service hours, and many are enhancing their skills for the future.

Continue to work with schools on Youth of the Month/Year and A.C.E. Month/Year applications, and consider awarding them with the new clear sculpted ice awards offered through the Exchange Marketplace. 

When ordering from Exchange’s Marketplace, you can easily ship them directly to the student or advisor by indicating in the shipping address. This will make it easier to award students virtually.
