Clubs / Organizations
Altrusa is a network of clubs that each serve their community. Our clubs are free to determine their own service projects and fundraising efforts, tailored to local needs.
The members of our clubs, known as Altrusans, are energetic, service-minded people of all ages and ethnicities. Most of us are women, as Altrusa was founded in 1917 as a women’s organization, but we have welcomed men to our membership for more than a decade.
Altrusa District Six covers Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. DeKalb County Altrusans are members of one club of 22 in our District.
We are always looking for members to further our projects in the area - literacy and community service.
