The Rotary Club of Orleans values youth.  We believe that young people are the future of Orleans.  Our Young People of Character awards are an opportunity to recognize young people in our community who demonstrate outstanding strength of character.

 

 

Strength of character is the most valuable asset a person can have.  It is an essential element of personal success and satisfaction.  Character builds leaders and contributes to our society.  Individuals of character make our world a better place.

 

Young people who demonstrate strength of character are poised to succeed.  They are our future leaders.  It is important to recognize young people of character to acknowledge, encourage and support them for who they are and the potential of who they will become.

 

 

The Young People of Character awards are open to youth from Orleans (including greater Orleans, Cumberland, Rockland, Navan, Vars and Gloucester) between the ages of 14-18 years.  The young person must be nominated by someone who can attest to his/her character and is not a relative (a teacher, principal, guidance counselor, scout leader, coach, clergy, employer, etc.)

 

 

The awards ceremony will take place on June 3th, 2018 1:30-4:00pm  at the Richcraft Theatre, Shemkman Arts Centre (245 Centrum Blvd. Orleans).  Each award recipient will be presented with a trophy recognizing their achievement.  Each student will get to meet their business sponsor and take part in a photo opportunity.  Family and friends are invited to attend.
