Rotary Youth Mentoring Programme
ROTARIANS for the YOUTH
By seeing the value of your club serving students through mentoring, you will be filling a global void and making a direct and critical connection within your own community. Participation is simple and for most Rotarians requires no more than an hour of time outside of a Rotary Club meeting.
For Committee Members, participation is as simple as placing a few phone calls to friends.
Goal 1: Provides a relevant community service
Goal 2: Makes a difference in the lives of young people
Goal 3: Builds awareness of the good works of the Rotary International
Mentors for the Youth – Business Owners’, Entrepreneurs’, CEO’s
It is said that when you give, you receive, and this is never truer than when you are a business professional helping a young person understand your career path.
Goal: Provide 1000 hours of mentoring
Impact: Personal & Economic Development. Youths of the rotary
Youths entering college and career with visions of their future but no real way to verify the fit or right steps to take.
Through the Rotary Student Program, you will gain invaluable exposure to the business world by meeting one on one with successful professionals.
Goal: Mentor 100 Youth
Impact: Personal & Economic Development.
Youth will gain a keen understanding of Rotary and the invaluable role that volunteering plays in your community and around the world.
Schools for the Youth
Allowing students to explore their career paths early ignites the interest and passion needed to work harder toward their ultimate goals.
Goal: School to implement the Rotary Student Programme, agreeing to designate an administrator to be a Rotary Student Programme representative.
This role includes handing out and accepting essays, as well as collecting the finished essays to submit to the Rotarian contact on the agreed-upon date.
When the final student(s) are picked, they are placed with a mentor for an afternoon or morning—requiring a school absence. This student(s) will also be required to speak at a designated Rotary meeting about their experience, requiring them to miss another afternoon of school.
