Don't have an ANF service club in your town?

It only takes one person to get something going. We'll give you the playbooks and support to start a Service Club in your community. If that might be you.

The Movement

The Founding ANF Service Clubs

These first six Service Clubs are led by normal folks already showing up for their communities. Different paths. Same heart. Each one proving that doing what you can really does add up.

Running Toward Dignity

Michael runs with Back On My Feet, where running clubs for people experiencing homelessness have helped more than 10,000 people find jobs and housing. For him, service means moving together—literally—and rebuilding lives with dignity.

Questions

Everything you need to know about joining or starting a club

How do I find service clubs?

Browse our service club map to locate groups in your area. Each service club page shows meeting times, local projects, and how to connect with leaders who can bring you in.

What if no service club exists?

Starting a service club is straightforward. We provide playbooks, leadership guidance, and community support to help you launch. Many of our strongest service clubs began with one person who saw the need.

What kind of work happens?

We focus on local needs that matter. Food drives, neighborhood cleanups, mentoring, disaster relief—whatever our community needs most. Each chapter decides its own priorities.

How do I join?

Show up to an event. No applications, no fees, no barriers. We meet regularly and welcome anyone ready to serve alongside us. Start with what works for your schedule.

Do I need experience?

No. Normal folks like you are doing this work. We learn together, figure it out together, and grow stronger together. Experience comes from showing up.
