Exchange Club

What Exchange Club does

The Child Abuse Prevention Center, operating under the Exchange Club brand, is a Birmingham, Alabama-based non-profit organization founded in 1987 as the Alabama affiliate of the National Exchange Club. It delivers community-based child abuse prevention services through four core programs: the Parent Aide In-Home Program (home-based mentoring for parents of children ages 0-12), the Safe Kids School Outreach Program (school-based abuse prevention education for pre-K through 6th grade, launched September 2016 and reaching 3,000+ children annually), the First Teacher Home Visitation Program (using the evidence-based Parents as Teachers curriculum for families from pregnancy through age five, including developmental screenings), and Positive Parenting Groups (free educational support groups for parents of children 0-17 delivered virtually and at multiple community locations). The organization serves families across 13 Alabama counties and operates without proprietary technology, relying on direct in-person, virtual, and in-home service delivery rather than a software platform.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than revenue-generating. All services are provided free of charge or at low cost to remove access barriers, and the organization accepts tax-deductible individual and organizational donations on a one-time, weekly, or monthly basis. Funding sources include individual donors, corporate partners (notably Big Saver Thrift Stores, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and McWane), and state and county government grants (Alabama Department of Child Trauma Fund, Jefferson County Commission). The organization maintains a headcount of 1-10 employees and is governed by a Board of Directors under Executive Director Kimberly Berry. Its go-to-market is community-led, with referrals sourced from DHR, schools, healthcare providers, and self-referrals, and intake handled via phone, website forms, and in-person registration.
