Community Engagement and Partnerships
The Giving Exchange loves connecting with service clubs, classrooms, and community organizations across California.
Groups like WINGS of Oakland, Rotary, and Kiwanis have welcomed us to speak about our work, and together we've decorated hundreds of notebooks that our team personally delivers to students in East Africa. Each notebook carries a message of encouragement and solidarity across continents. See more.
We would love to be part of your next gathering. Invite us to speak, organize a notebook drive, or simply learn more about what we do.
