Do you need to join a committee for Rotary?  Are you interested in helping Harrisburg area High school  Students make a real difference in our community?  Join our committee…the Youth Community Development Team (YCDT)  We are actively seeking new committee members.

 

This committee educates, informs and works with 30 to 40 high school students each year (October to May) on becoming philanthropists. Through monthly sessions we facilitate and  enable students to work together to identify a community need,  raise funds and award a grant to a local non-profit to address that need.  Students are involved in the process from start to finish; drafting a request for proposal (RFP),  making a fund raising presentation, reviewing grant applications, raising money peer-to-peer and awarding funds to a local non-profit.

 

Students work together learning to collaborate, compromise and develop persuasive skills while building relationships with students from other high schools. 

 

Join YCDT and have an impact on area high school students as they make a real difference in our community.
