Membership in an Anchor Club allows young people to make a dynamic difference in their world through volunteer service…and have FUN while helping others. Anchors learn valuable skills that prepare them to be good citizens for the rest of their lives. They have opportunities to lead and organize service projects and play active roles in club programs. Often they work side by side with their sponsoring Pilot Clubs to promote awareness and provide hands on service to people with Brain-Related Disorders.

Since Pilot International was chartered in 1921, Pilot Clubs have undertaken service projects involving young people and their needs. In 1952 Pilot adopted the program of sponsoring Anchor Clubs. Anchor is now over 50 years old and is made up of over 10,000 members.

The Texas district Pilot Clubs sponsor 34 Anchor Clubs in Texas and one in Argentina. The anchor clubs work with Pilot Clubs in projects that promote our focus of Brain Related disorders.

Anchor Clubs can be found throughout the United States, Bahamas, Japan and Argentina. Anchor Clubs take many forms – some are affiliated with schools; some are not. Some are all female; some are coed. Some are large; some are small. Some clubs are in organized Anchor Districts.

Anchor members discover the importance of working together—no single member can accomplish the service that the members can as a team.

Are you no an Anchor Club member but still are interested in actively improving your local community? Pilot International has an exciting opportunity for you to become a Provisional Member! Anchors graduating after May/June of 2005 are eligible for Provisional Membership. The Provisional Membership form may be downloaded by clicking on “documents” under the Anchor section of the Pilot International website. Once the completed form is received at PI Headquarters, it will be forwarded to the Pilot Club closest to the area indicated on the form. Than a Provisional Membership card will be sent to the member. It’s an open invitation to attend and participate in communities through service, and also provides limitless opportunities to network and make personal and professional connections. Provisional Membership is sponsored by Pilot International and is free to the member. We appreciate our past Anchors for their many years of service and dedication to Anchor and Pilot International.
