San Jacinto Pilot Club, founded in 1987, is a part of Pilot International, a 501(c)3 organization which is a community-based volunteer service organization founded in 1921 in Macon, GA on the principles of “Friendship and Service.” The name “Pilot” was inspired by the mighty riverboat pilots of that day who represented leadership and guidance and who steered a “true course ever”. Pilot Clubs are found across the U.S., the Bahamas and Japan.

Pilots carry out their mission to “Do More, Care More and Be More” by providing financial and hands-on support for national and local initiatives in keeping with its causes of youth development & leadership, brain safety & fitness and caring for families in times of need. In addition, there are over 7,000 school-level Anchor Club members worldwide--including the North Shore Anchor Club--through which Pilot encourages and provides opportunities for youth development and leadership.

Pilot International remains headquartered in Macon, where its staff serves its international constituency.
