About the Duneland Exchange Club

The Duneland Exchange Club is a local service organization made up of dedicated men and women committed to strengthening our community. Through volunteer efforts focused on country, community, children, and the prevention of child abuse, our members work to make a lasting, positive impact in the Duneland area.

Founded on May 9, 1991, the Duneland Exchange Club is proud to be part of a national network of over 600 Exchange Clubs across the United States.

Membership Meetings

Join Us!

The Duneland Exchange Club meets twice a month—on the first and third Thursday at 7:00 a.m.—at Sunrise Café in Chesterton.

We invite you to Be Our Guest for breakfast and learn more about the meaningful work we’re doing throughout the Duneland communities. It’s a great chance to meet members, ask questions, and see what makes our club special.

Annual membership is $125.00.
While it may seem unusual to pay to volunteer, this fee helps cover:

National Exchange Club dues, connecting us to 900+ clubs nationwide with resources and training
Insurance and materials needed to operate events and initiatives safely
Local administrative costs that support our mission-driven programs

Your involvement—and your membership—help us continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of children, families, and our community. We’d love to welcome you!

AMERICA’S SERVICE CLUB

Empowering individual impact since 1911

You were made to make a difference. You’ve got a deep-rooted drive to give back, and you’ve made it your mission to leave the world better than you found it. You’re dedicated and determined. You’re passionate and persistent.

You’re not alone.

We’re The National Exchange Club, and we’re full of world-changers just like you. For the past 112 years, our well-established organization has been cultivating connections among like-minded individuals to make a lasting impact on the world around us. From parents to corporations and teachers to youth, teens, and students, our purpose is to provide you with the people and resources you need to put your passion into practice. Whether your particular passion is one of our own—Prevention of Child Abuse, Americanism, Community Service, and Youth Programs—or something completely different, one thing is certain: you’re here to make a change, and we can’t wait to help empower you.
