Typically, around this time of year, we would be preparing for our annual in-person conference, Youth Adventures in Leadership (YAIL), but because that is not possible this year, we are proud to present AIM by YAIL. AIM is a FREE Virtual Youth Leadership Series that is open to all youth in our district and does not require a Rotary sponsor to attend. With our lives looking a lot different than we are used to, we wanted to offer a safe, inclusive, and fun environment that provides participants with the opportunity to grow as individuals and leaders.
The virtual series presents a fantastic opportunity to have speakers from outside of our area and district share their expertise on various topics. The topics being discussed consist of Leadership, Mindset, Inspiration & Purpose, Life Changes, and Interact & Rotaract Night. A different topic will be covered each session by our exceptional speakers. Additionally, each session will conclude with a Diversity & Inclusion speaker tying in the topic to everyday lives.
Our virtual Leadership sessions take place from 15 April to 13 May 2021. The sessions are every Thursday from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. We believe that we must empower and inspire youth to be the best versions of themselves, especially in today's world. This leadership series will be targeted to high school-aged students and young adults in Rotary District 5050. To attend, participants will need to register and reserve the dates at the District 5050 YAIL website. Registration will be open on 15 February 2021.
