Youth Report
I thought it fitting to do a Youth Report because there is so much happening and we are looking forward to leading RCSM in inspiring our Youth and helping them grow learn change and empower them to be more.
So far I have made contact with the 4 Secondary Schools within our area. Ian Dempsey and I have had a meeting with Principal Michael and PA Lauren and it went extremely well. We are building a deeper relationship and we are keen to help each other in Rotary Projects as well as a project that Wallan are currently fundraising for. We will ensure to report further at our next meeting.
I have received 2 applications thus far for RYPEN, and we are following up with the schools over the coming two weeks,
with much hope to fill at least another 2 places.
We have several other programs to be considered, including the Fit to Drive Foundation Program, that are happening in the region, and have been invited to either sponsor, help with fundraising or fund in our schools. This is exciting for building relationships within our Youth community, and will need to be carefully considered and strategically planned with current Rotary Programs being offered, and ideas for fundraising to be thought out.
We are especially looking for a candidate to send to Canberra for our RAIC program, if you or someone you know might be a candidate, please don't hesitate to contact me on the below email.
Have a Fabulous Week.

PARTICIPATE
Are you in Year 11 or its equivalent?
Can you resist seeing new places and meeting new friends?
What about getting into places not normally open to the public?
And how about learning things that are going to be important to you when you become a full Australian citizen in just one or two years?
Rotary Adventure in Citizenship (RAIC) gives you all these things, and more. Have a look at the box for information on the program.

RAIC is so much more than a school trip to Canberra. For the week of RAIC, you become almost an insider to what's happening in your national capital.
Things you see and do are related to what is timely and topical. See some of the things delegates typically do at RAIC.
