What is New Generations Service?
• New Generations includes all young people under 30
• The Council on Legislation approved New Generations as Rotary’s fifth Avenue of Service in April 2010
• New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults
• New Generations programs are a key tactic in RI’s Strategic Plan
Rotary youth programs can be the starting point for a lifetime in Rotary, but it important to remember that program participants are already making significant contributions in their communities and internationally. Make a long-term investment in New Generations, support their service, and enrich your club today.
