Our Journey

The Elm City Senior and Youth Clubs were established in April 1976, marking the beginning of a new era for community engagement. By July of the same year, both clubs proudly received their charters at the National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. The Elm City Young Adult Club followed suit, being organized in the spring of 1977 and chartered at the 1977 National Convention in Oakland, California. These clubs have since been a cornerstone of community development and support.

With a mission to foster community spirit and personal growth, the Elm City Clubs have been dedicated to serving both the young and the elderly. Through various programs and initiatives, they have created a nurturing environment that encourages learning, leadership, and lifelong friendships.
