Rotary's programs for students and youth can change the lives of those who participate. Through these programs, young people can earn scholarships, travel on cultural exchanges, or help a community through a service project.

Rotary Youth Exchange. A s a Rotary Youth Exchange student, you’ll spend up to a year living with a few host families and attending school in a different country.

R otary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30.

NEW GENERATIONS ACTIVITIES

 

Rotary International supports a number of initiatives to benefit Youth.  These include:

 

1. Club Activities – Earlyact Clubs in our primary schools; Interact Clubs in our secondary schools and Rotoract Clubs for young adults 18-30 years.
2. Student Exchanges – Rotary Australia/New Zealand Exchange (RANZE), a matched family-to-family exchange for 14-16 year-olds in Australia/New Zealand for one school term in each country.   Youth Exchange for senior secondary students for twelve months in one of several selected countries.
3.  Short Courses - The Science Experience, a week-end activity based course for Year 9 students interested in science at one of several local universities.  The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), a two week course conducted at either Canberra or Perth for selected Year 11 Science students during the mid-summer vacation at the end of Year 11.
4. Leadership Courses – Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN), a weekend interactive program in a camp setting to build life-skills for 14-17 year- olds.  Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) a five-day intensive leadership and life-skills program for 18-26 year-olds.
5. Driver Awareness - Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) a one day, off-campus course for Year 11 students to raise awareness of the dangers and responsibilities of obtaining a license and being a passenger with a newly licensed driver.

 

All of the above activities have been in operation for a number of years and are continually upgraded to meet the needs and expectations of participants.

 

At the Rotary Club of Albany Creek we do not currently participate in all of the above activities.  But should students be interested in an activity that we do not currently support, we could suggest a neighbouring Rotary Club that does.

 

Activities that our club currently supports, include – RANZE, The Science Experience, NYSF, RYPEN, RYLA and RYDA.

 

There is a cost involved in most of these activities depending on the length of the course, accommodation and travel.  The Rotary Club is happy to provide 50% of the cost.

 

Should you require more information, please contact the club and we will provide it.
