EXCHANGE CLUB OF LAS VEGAS NV INC

The Exchange Club of Las Vegas was officially chartered in 1976, but its roots in community service date back to 1947, when it first began serving the Las Vegas area. As a proud member of the National Exchange Club (NEC)—America’s oldest service organization founded in 1911 in Detroit, Michigan—our club is part of a nationwide network of volunteers committed to making our communities better places to live.

The NEC is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization with over 600 clubs and more than 15,000 members across the United States and Puerto Rico. Together, we uphold the core values of Family, Community, and Country, and work to promote Americanism, support youth, serve local needs, and prevent child abuse—our national project since 1979.
