Youth Events

Dartmouth Rotary organises youth speaks competitions for local schools.

Youth Speaks team from 2024.  This team from Dartmouth Academy won the local competition and went on to the county finals.

Rotary has various programmes for Youth.  Those of particular relevance to this club are:


Rotary Youth Speaks

To encourage speaking and presentation skills in young people this competition allows young people to try out being a public speaker with two other young people acting as chairperson and giver of a vote of thanks.  Several local schools participate.  It is a competition and local winners go on to compete in a county wide final.


Books for Life

Books for Life is a programme where when leaving primary school each student is presented with a book by the then president of our club.   This has been running for many years and several local schools are covered each year in Dartmouth Blackawton and Stoke Fleming.
