Youth Programmes
Developing and Inspiring Young People
Our Family of Rotary
Through Rotary we offer young people the chance to develop personal skills and a better awareness of the problems that face the world today. It is an opportunity to meet, work and have a great time with like-minded people, guided and supported by Rotarians.
RotaKids is an exciting way for those 12 and under to lead and engage in important, lively activities that will make a positive difference in their school, in their local community and globally. At the same time, RotaKids develop the ability and confidence to take up their place in society as responsible, successful, effective citizens both now and in the future.
Interact
Interact is a club for young people aged 12 to 18 to work together helping others in their communities and across the world whilst having fun and learning about the world. They are based in secondary schools or colleges and organise at least two service projects a year - one that benefits their community and one that benefits international understanding.
Rotaract
Rotaract is a unique international service organisation for people aged 18-30, offering a wide range of activities that enable young adults to try something new, whilst having a great time and meeting others. Rotaract is an opportunity for young men and women to enhance their personal development, address the physical and social needs of their communities and promote better relations between people worldwide through friendship and service.
