SAS All-Star Weekend
The Goal is to put 2,000 high potential teenagers through a series of activities and experiences that will help educate them on the value of service, change their perspectives on how they view their role in the community, and hopefully ignite a passion within them to become a more active volunteer.
"It's increasingly evident that today's youth are becoming more isolated and do not comprehend the Service Above Self mentality. Technologies like iPods and Blackberries encourage isolation and a lack of communication, and do little to promote or foster a sense of community.
Through Leadership Training, it's the goal of Rotary SAS All-Stars program to put 2,000 high potential teenagers through a series of activities and experiences that will help educate them on the value of service, change their perspectives on how they view their role in the community, and hopefully ignite a passion within them to become a more active volunteer.
With the end goal of engendering and promoting the Service Above Self way of life to more youth, the Rotary SAS All-Stars program has been designed around 3 key elements: character, excellence, and service."
