If you are searching for a way to help others and be actively involved in your community then you've found your match! South Dakota ESA is one of the most caring and generous group of people who are dedicated to helping those in need, regardless of the circumstance. If there isn't a chapter in your community, consider starting your own chapter today!
Each chapter uses their meetings to educate not only their membership but also to those residing within the communities they serve. Each chapter selects their own educational theme, and members research and present their findings in their monthly meetings.
ESA International is a leadership and service organization bringing good people together to pursue programs and projects that make a positive difference locally, nationally and internationally.
Since 1929, ESA members have used their network of more than 1,000 chapters to excel in community education, service and philanthropy. Their “hands-on” endeavors provide more than 650,000 direct service hours and over $10 million for charitable causes each year.
ESA's unique program provides each member with the training, education and support they need to promote successful public service, while developing personal and professional skills in management, public relations and leadership. As a premier leadership and service organization, ESA offers our members the personal assistance and supportive programming needed to develop confidence and competence to go forth and impact the world in a positive way.
ESA has long been known as an organization on the cutting edge. Always ahead of its time, it has blazed new trails in volunteerism.
