Youth is the future of Rotary. Building upon the foundation of the hard work of so many Rotarians and young leaders in our District is so important as we re-engage and change lives.
Under the guidance and leadership of Rotary District 5370 Youth Services Co-Chairs Elizabeth Bonkink (Rotary Club Edmonton Gateway) and Myles Dykes (MacEwan Rotaract), our benchmark youth programs are moving forward in new and exciting ways.
YOUR support is so important as we work towards in-person youth programs: RYLA, RYLE, RYPEN, Youth Exchange, Interact and Rotaract. This means we need YOU to invest your time, talents, energy, mentorship and continue to invest financially in creating opportunities for these young leaders to grow and continue their Rotary journey.
This 10 minute video shares the success stories of so many young leaders in our District as our benchmark programs truly make a difference! Sharing this with your club, schools, leaders in your community, and more will open the door to creating opportunities and understanding what it means for young leaders in Rotary.
Who should we share this success story with?
- Rotary clubs and members
- Rotaract Clubs and members
- Interact Clubs and members
- Parents
- School Principals and leaders
- Guidance counselors
- Community groups (e.g. Boys and Girls Clubs, iHuman, YouCan and so many others!)
- Rotary Youth Alumni
- Stakeholders and youth champions
AND, please share on social media! Tag someone YOU recognize, Rotary District 5370, and anyone else who would love to be invested in creating youth leadership opportunities.
Youth Services is also looking for Rotarian Advisors to help support the leaders of tomorrow. If you are someone who is perfect for the role or know someone who is, reach out to Elizabeth and Myles.
Thank you for all of the work that each member and club does for the young leaders in our District. Together, we can change lives as we are People of Action who Serve to Change Lives!
