Anchor Clubs

In 1952, Pilot began to recruit youth members through the establishment of Anchor Clubs, a volunteer service organization for young people.

Today, there are over 7,000 Anchors world-wide with new clubs and members being added monthly. Through professionally developed curriculum and strategic partnerships with national organizations, Pilot encourages and provides opportunities for Youth Development & Leadership around the globe.

The Michigan-Indiana District has four Anchor Clubs in Jeffersonville High School (Jeffersonville, IN), Madison Consolidated High School (Madison, IN) New Albany High School (New Albany, IN) and Monroe Central High School (Parker City, IN).

Brain Safety & Health

Since 1992, Pilot International has worked in the area of brain related service and has narrowed its focus to Brain Safety & Health.

Pilots are active in local safety fairs and bike rodeos where they seek to educate children about the importance of brain-safe practices and often distribute free bike helmets to participants. Pilots also participate in Pilot International’s BrainMinders™ award-winning family of brain-safety educational programs and are active partners with SafeKids Worldwide.

Pick-Me-Ups

In 2013, Pilot International introduced the “Pick Me Ups” initiative for Family Caregivers.

Through both fundraising and hands-on service work, local Pilot and Anchor Clubs provide a “little Pick Me Up” for Caregivers in their communities. Many Pilot Clubs work with The Brain Injury Association of America to support and sustain several exemplary camps for individuals with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These facilities offer a positive experience for the campers while also providing a much-needed rest for their caregivers. Pilot International also created and supports International Care & Kindness Week that brings awareness to how simple acts can change a life by showing someone you care.
