Rotary
clubs are encouraged to prepare the New Generations -
all young people up to the age of 30 years - by
improving their life skills to ensure a better future,
while recognising the diversity of their needs. Many
Rotary projects support the fundamental needs of the New
Generations namely health, human values, education and
self-development. The structured programs of Rotary
International for New Generations are:
Youth
Exchange
This
program promotes goodwill, peace and understanding
through a socially interactive educational experience.
The Youth Exchange Committee promotes, manages and
coordinates reciprocal twelve month secondary school
exchanges between students aged 15 - 17 years, sponsored
by a local Rotary Clubs and an overseas Club.
Rotary
Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)
This is a
week long residential personal development program for
young people aged 18-25. It provides an opportunity for
young people from a diverse range of backgrounds to come
together to gain a better understanding of their own
strengths and the unique qualities and abilities of
others. The program is delivered by young people for
young people.
The RYLA
Committee is keen to attract indigenous and refugee
participants.
RYPEN
Rotary
Youth Program of Enrichment is a weekend residential

MUNA
Model
United Nations Assembly is a weekend program for year 11
students. Clubs send two students who represent a
country, and over the course of the assembly debate a
number of resolutions. Each team adopts the stance of
the country they represent. MUNA builds international
understanding and expands student's knowledge of the
working of the UN, and the countries they represent.
The National Youth
Science Forum
is the only program in Australia that
offers students currently in Year 11 the
chance to test-drive a wide range of
universities and careers in the
sciences.
The main
objective is to ensure that every
NYSF student is exposed to the
widest possible range of study and
career opportunities in science,
technology and engineering so that they
can make an informed choice.
RC of Kew
on Yarra is sponsoring Devrat
Bhattacharya, a student from Melbourne
High, to attend the National Youth
Science Forum in Canberra.
