Youth Programs

Overview

Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders and has a strong history of supporting youth development and leadership. Our club supports this goal and provides a range of opportunities for young people to get involved in the work of Rotary in the community as well as to gain new skills and knowledge.

Below you will find details of the programs that our club supports which are suitable for youth and young people in a range of age groups. If you are keen to have fun, learn fantastic new skills, make new friends and create memories that will last a lifetime then contact us for further details. We will then get in touch with you to discuss your suitability for the program and possible financial sponsorship assistance.
