Portland Rotary Club U40 Program for members under 40 years of age

The U40 or “under 40” program in Portland has been developed to induct an annual class of new candidates desiring to emerge as leaders and become lasting Rotarians. The U40 program will provide a unique opportunity to fast-track initiation of people under 40 into the Rotary Club of Portland by:

• Offering a ten-month leadership program that will engage participants with community leaders, giving them upfront access to Portland’s movers and shakers.
• Pairing each U40 member in a one on one mentoring relationship with a current Rotary member who will help guide their Rotary experience in a very focused and interactive style.
• Requiring a project component giving the U40 class oversight on a community service endeavor internally selected by the class.
• Advising on Rotary Club of Portland committees to engage, as each U40 member will be co-chair of one of the dozen+ committees in the club.
