“Rotary’s Youth Service Programs have a long history of developing young leaders, and providing for health and education projects to make the world a better place. These programs make it a priority to create world peace and understanding while exposing youth to the ideals of “Service Above Self.” Youth Service is important because youth are our future. Youth will be running our country and the world, and are the future of Rotary. For Rotary and its ideals of service as a worthy enterprise to survive and thrive beyond our lifetime, Rotarians must be involved in Youth Service” Rotary District 7150
Developing the next generation of leaders is the core of Rotary's support for youth and young people in the greater Caloundra area.
Caloundra Rotary - like Rotary Clubs across Australia - sponsors young people in the development of skills in the areas of communication, leadership, road safety education and driver awareness, resilience and self esteem and in furthering their career aspirations in the areas of mathematics and science.
Our President Elect, Bernadette Strong plans a particular emphasis on Youth and Young People during 2018-19. Learn more about Bernie's plans here.
