At the 1979 National Convention, the Exchange Club adopted child abuse prevention as its primary focus of service. Representatives from the Jackson Exchange Club were present at the convention and immediately began working on establishing a child abuse prevention center upon their return to Jackson. Around the same time, legendary Rock-a-Billy artist, Carl Perkins, was spurned to action by the media coverage of a local young boy who had died as the result of child abuse. Through a grant from the National Exchange Club Foundation and the fundraising efforts of club members and Carl, the Center was founded in October 1981. Since that time, the Center has continued to grow and expand its program and services into many other West Tennessee counties and has served thousands of children and their families.
The Center combines a professional staff with trained volunteers to provide quality services to children and their families.
