The Rotary Club of Michigan City has youth programs to inspire our young people to achieve and flourish.

 

Some of these programs are:

 

Sponsorship of youth attending Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA).  RYLA encourages servant leadership in youth by recognizing and rewarding deserving 11th grade students who are chosen to attend RYLA as an "award" for their past and present leadership and service activities. These select young people attend an all-expenses-paid camp where they are inspired by a diverse group of exceptional speakers, make life-long friends through fellowship activities, and discuss the ethical and social issues of today. These activities are conducted in an atmosphere of trust and respect. The result is that these students return to their schools and communities motivated to take on additional leadership roles and to find additional ways to serve.

 

 

Rotarians and friends contributed a total of $304.3 million (unaudited) to The Rotary Foundation during the centennial year, a celebration of the Foundation’s 100 years of Doing Good. This amount surpassed the goal of $300 million set to mark the centennial in 2016-2017.

 

Your generous donations to the Annual, Endowment, and PolioPlus funds are empowering Rotary members to continue fighting disease, reducing poverty, providing clean water, promoting peace, and advancing economic development in communities all over the world.
