The National Exchange
Club Foundation (NECF) recently accredited the Exchange Club
Family Center of Nashville, Tennessee. The NECF coordinates
the largest network of Parent Aide programs in the United
States, with more than 100 sites throughout the country.
The Exchange Club Center was founded in 1985 with support
from local Exchange Clubs, and has been providing Parent
Aide services to families in the community for 27 years.
Parent Aides are trained, professionally supervised
individuals, volunteer or paid, who assist parents under
stress and those whose children are
at-risk of abuse or neglect.
The Exchange Club Center was accredited at the AAA level,
the highest awarded, for compliance with its Standards of
Operation and Practice. Accreditation demonstrates to
funders and others that the organization is in compliance
with national level criteria for quality programs and sound
business practices. This accreditation reflects the center’s
compliance in six areas: Commitment to Mission; Financial
Resource Planning and Management; Human Resources;
Networking Resources; Organizational Resources; and Program
Practices.
Karen Rich Askew, Director of Child Abuse Prevention
Services at NECF, states: “The Standards of Operation and
Practice has been developed based on almost 30 years of
observation of programs within our network. We believe they
are state of the art and are pleased that the Exchange Club
Center is a part of our network.”
