New Generations refers to the youngest generation in the family of Rotary. Many are participants in Rotary’s youth and young adult programs: Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), and Rotary Youth Exchange. Others are serviceminded young people involved in Rotary club and district activities.

In Rotary clubs around the world, Rotarians like you are changing lives in their own communities and those abroad — and forming strong, lasting friendships in the process. So, how do you want to get involved in Rotary?
