About Us

Founded in 1951, the Exchange Club of Madison is part of a national network of volunteers serving Connecticut and the greater Madison-Guilford area through established programs of service in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities, and our national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse.

We are a progressive service organization of men and women which focuses on personal and professional development, building a healthy society and aiding Connecticut's families and children. Nearly 800 Exchange Clubs like us throughout the United States are affiliated with the National Exchange Club which is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio and founded in 1911.

Programs of Service Overview
