Hello Faribault Rotarians!
High school students find themselves at a crossroad in their lives, trying to complete the day to day requirements of a student while also deciding what career or education path they will take after graduation. The Faribault Rotary Club helps students in this critical time through the STRIVE Program. STRIVE, which is now in it's 23rd year, gives area students the opportunity to hear from local people about topics that will help them in their lives such as managing stress, personal finance, and the role that civics plays in our communities. In addition, students that participate in this program also have the ability to apply for scholarships. $16,000 in scholarships was awarded in 2020 to area students that participated in STRIVE!
The STRIVE team is in the process of wrapping up the 2021-2022 STRIVE program and planning next year's program. We are meeting at the Faribault Perkins on Wednesday, December 1st from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. Please come and join us if you would like to hear more about STRIVE and get involved! If you would like to attend, please RSVP to me so I can make sure that we have a large enough table: khalverson@hometowncu.coop
Thank you!
