We sponsor programs that have been designed to strengthen their physical, spiritual and educational needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A.C.E.<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; This program recognizes high school students who have made a dramatic change in their attitude and performance sometime during their high school years. These changes have enabled the students to overcome their adversities and prepare for graduation. Hence the award&#8217;s name, A.C.E., which is an acronym for Accepting the Challenge of Excellence. The A.C.E. Award may be presented to several deserving students over the course of a school year, or limited to one especially outstanding recipient. The scope of the project is determined by the sponsoring Exchange Club. Clubs may also submit their top A.C.E. Award winner to the district competition. Winners at the district level then have an opportunity to compete for the new National A.C.E. Award. Additional information on the A.C.E. Award can be obtained by writing to the National Headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Youth Scholarship<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; One of the most popular of Exchange&#8217;s youth projects, the Youth Scholarship Award recognizes industrious high school students who attain high levels of scholastic achievement, involvement in Community Service in a significant manner and leadership. This proven program not only rewards outstanding young people, but also provides an incentive for other youngsters to strive for equally high levels of achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a><\/a><br><strong>Community Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Book of Golden Deeds<\/strong>&nbsp;is an award that honors the quiet good deeds of unsung heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Service to Seniors&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; This program aids and assists older Americans enabling them to continue leading full, productive lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Exchange Club&#8217;s &#8220;Program of Service&#8221; are divided into the categories of&nbsp;Americanism,&nbsp;Community Service&nbsp;and&nbsp;Youth, with&nbsp;Child Abuse Prevention&nbsp;is our national program.
