S4TL 2013
Club President Aaron Davis and S4TL
Participant Madison Keene
S4TL is a leadership training program for high school students. It is organized annually by Rotarian senior staff from Districts 6890, 6950 and 6960 in mid-Florida. This award-winning program is capable of transforming the lives of these young leaders.
Each Rotary club in the three districts may sponsor a delegate to the sessions. A total of 160 delegates were registered to attend this year.
One unique feature of S4TL is the "rap sessions" where the leaders of tomorrow are divided into groups of 16-18 delegates. They meet with Rotarians to discuss topics of interest to them. No holds are barred, and both groups learn from one another.
Our club is proud to sponsor a local high school to attend this program each year. This year's participant was Madison Keene. Madison recently attended our club meeting to talk to us regarding her experience. This are her comments:
My experience at S4TL was life changing. From the time my car was
stormed by the "red shirts" to the time we had our graduation, I felt
nothing but love and acceptance. I learned the qualities as well as the
dedication it takes to become a successful leader, both in clubs as well
as in my day to day life. I laughed, I cried, and I challenged myself more
each day to break out of my shell. I formed lifelong friendships with over
150 of my peers from all over Florida, and I will cherish this seminar
forever!
