Day of Service 2023
    
Youth Service Month: RYLA 
Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” WRWR provides opportunities for youth to develop the skills and characteristics necessary to be effective leaders of tomorrow through Rotary Youth Exchange, RYLA (Camp Neidig), STEM YEA, Four-Way Test Speech Contest, Student of the Month, Wilson and Wyomissing Sr Award and Wilson Interact Club.  If you would like to prepare young people, for the challenges that lie ahead let Jeremiah know since we are looking for a Director of Youth Services
