In Rotary there are a wide range of opportunities to help our youth to grow and improve their futures
Rotary Interact allows our youth to develop leadership skills, to make a difference in school and in the community while discovering new cultures and international understanding.
Rotary Student Exchange programs are available that allow our youth to expand their horizons in ways they never thought imaginable.
Rotary Scholarships are available as we love to invest in our future leaders. Our clubs offer different Scholarships for secondary, undergraduate and graduate study.
Rotary Interact
Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self. Find out how serious leadership can be seriously fun.
Interact clubs organize at least two projects every year, one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding. Rotary club sponsors mentor and guide Interactors as they carry out projects and develop leadership skills.
