Our Youth Services: let's get going

Posted by Franz Huber on Sep 19, 2016

OK, our club has numerous times in the past supported RYPEN (Rotary Youth Program for Enrichment, for 14-16 year olds), RYTS (Rotary Youth Transition Seminar, for 17 - 18 year olds who have just left school, and RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award, a leadership training seminar for 19 - 28 year olds. Last week, our Youth Service Director Tania Laird advised that these will be the programs we'll support this year, since we won't have an International Exchange Student this time.

In the past we also have had several successful candidates for the National Youth Science Forum with the CSIRO in Canberra, and of course we are always actively engaged in RYDA (Rotary Youth Driver Awareness) with multiple seminars held each year for senior students at local high schools.

Then, there is MUNA, Conoco Philips Science Experience, HESS, Earlyact, Interact, Rotaract... Is your head spinning yet? Over the next few weeks, each program will be individually featured. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open for potential candidates. Our District Website www.rotary9640.org has a complete run down of all programs, including the dates, locations, qualifications required etc. Meanwhile, you can find a well presented 1-Page outline in our Download Section on the right, as well as on - click here to get there directly.
