Fresh New Look Coming Soon!

In the coming year, Anchors will enjoy new opportunities and experiences provided by specially chosen corporate partnerships. These partnerships will provide greater national exposure for Anchor Clubs and greater leadership and service opportunities for Anchor members. Additional information about these new partnerships will be announced at the 2013 Anchor Leadership Summit in New Orleans.

Anchors will soon see changes in the Anchor Club experience itself as new programs and initiatives are introduced. These new initiatives will encourage Anchors to explore what it means to be an “ANCHOR” while developing their personal character and leadership abilities. All new initiatives and programs will be guided by one of six key characteristics embodied in the “ANCHOR” name.

Characteristics of an Anchor

ALTRUISM Anchors participate in altruistic activities through selection, organization and participation in various service projects both in their schools and their communities.

NOBLE PURPOSE Anchors discover that it is always more rewarding to give than to receive. Anchors have a grateful and giving heart and through in-school activities, service projects and unique partnerships with national organizations Anchors find their own Noble Purpose – their individual gifts and talents – and learn how to use it for the betterment of all.

CITIZENSHIP Anchors assume leadership roles within their club and are given the drive and experience to become better citizens in their schools and communities. Through hands-on experiences, Anchors learn to recognize a need and act upon it. The team-building, confidence and leadership skills fostered in Anchor Clubs today will be exhibited in these better citizens of tomorrow.

Characteristics of an Anchor

HONOR Anchors are honorable people - honest and fair, showing integrity through consistency in their beliefs and actions. To honor another person is to show them high regard and respect. Anchors become honorable individuals through good works and action, learning that service above self is key.OPEN-MINDED Anchors step outside their own comfort zones to view others - and themselves - in a new and kinder light. Through interaction with people of various ages and abilities, demographics and differences, Anchors learn to engage with and show respect for all individuals and all ideas. Anchors are exposed to new environments and new challenges which open their eyes to see the needs of the world around them. Anchors are equipped with the tools and skills necessary to respond.

RESPONSIBLE Anchors are taught to be responsible for themselves and others through group activities specifically targeted to combat the rising tide of irresponsible behavior seen in so many of today's youth (bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, personal care, gossip, etc.). As Anchor membership grows, so will the nation's number of positive, responsible young people, armed today with the tools to face the challenges of tomorrow.
