Aspirations

Aspirations Fair

Hand in hand with local schools, other educators, and professionals in their field, the Noontime Rotary aims to inspire young people to aspire to careers of their choosing. We partner with organizations like Maine College Circle to award scholarships and STEM Workforce Readiness to prepare young people for a career in science and technology.
