May 2019
As we enter the Month of May in our Rotary World, we are celebrating our Youth. Those of you that know me know that our Youth programs are my WHY in Rotary.
Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders. Our programs help younger leaders build leadership skills, expand education and learn the value of service.
Rotaract clubs bring together people ages 18-30 to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service.
Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills and learn about the world through service projects and activities.
RYLA is a leadership development program for young people who want to learn new skills, build their confidence, and have fun. In our District we hold 3 sessions that run 5 ½ days. We also do a scaled down version called REGL for 8th graders that runs 3 days and there are currently 2 of those sessions a year. When students leave these camps they truly have a purpose and a drive that they typically don’t show up to camp with.
Rotary Youth Exchange builds peace one young person at a time. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students ages 15-19 are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries.
New Generations Service Exchange is a short-term, customizable program for university students and professionals up to age 30. Participants can design exchanges that combine their professional goals with a humanitarian project.
If you haven’t been able to participate in one of our Youth Programs, I encourage you to give it a try. If you are not sure what your club needs or what position you could be apart of check with your club’s Youth Service chair or reach out to our District Youth Service Chairs Gordon and Lindy Beattie.
