RotaKids (Aged under 12 years)

What is RotaKids?

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 enjoy developing the ability and confidence to take up their place in society as responsible, successful, effective citizens both now and in the future. They have fun developing team work skills and making good friends.

As citizenship is part of the school curriculum this is an opportunity for Rotary to support and expand the work already happening in school. The decisions made always involve the RotaKids.

Kids

RotaKids take the following Pledge to demonstrate their commitment to being good citizens:

As a RotaKid I endeavour,
To be fair to all,
To serve my community,
To show respect for others.

 RotaKids could:

    work on an environmental project by cleaning up a park or planting trees.
    raise funds for a local cause by doing a sponsored event or even putting on a show
    help the elderly by holding coffee morning and playing board games
    support children in another country by sending unused bikes so they can get to school

The sky is the limit!
