YOUTH LEADERSHIP & EDUCATION

Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders. Our programs help younger leaders build leadership skills, expand education and learn the value of service.

Hudson High School Service Learning
Started in 1998, the Hudson High School Service Learning Program is a model for Ohio's Department of Education.
 
Service Learning is a unique course that combines the disciplines of Social Studies and English with an application in service to the community. It is through the volunteer work that students receive a "hands on" experience of what the academic component has been focusing on through in-depth research projects and real world experience. The volunteer site experience also gives students the rare opportunity to develop relationships with diverse professionals who further enhance their personal and education development. The course enables students to realize the need for volunteers locally, in neighboring communities and at a state and national level.
 
  • "Best Service Learning Program" in Ohio in 2009
  • Special Recognition from America's Promise Alliance
  • Certifying Organization for The President's Volunteer Service Award

YOUTH PROTECTION RESOURCES

Statement of Conduct for Working With Youth

Rotary International strives to create and maintain a safe environment for all youth who participate in Rotary activities. To the best of their ability, Rotary members, their partners, and other volunteers must safeguard the children and young people with whom they come into contact and protect them from physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.

 

Reporting abuse or a youth protection concern can be difficult. If you need advice or assistance, write to us at youthprotection@rotary.org or call +1 866-976-8279 08:00-16:00 Chicago time (UTC-5 or UTC-6) to talk with Rotary's Youth Protection staff. Our staff members are experienced and trained in receiving reports of abuse or misconduct that involves youth, and each situation will be handled with care and confidentiality.

“If we train our youth properly, we need not have any fear as to the future of the world.”
Percy Hodgson, RI President 1949-50 - Rotary Club of Pawtucket
