Rotary In Action - Youth & Vocational Service

Thousands of young people get involved with Rotary’s competitions, programmes and activities, all designed to unlock their potential.


One of Rotary’s enduring commitments is to empower young people by providing meaningful opportunities that help them unlock their potential, develop essential life skills, and broaden their horizons. 

Across Great Britain and Ireland, Rotary offers a wide range of inspiring competitions, programmes, and activities designed to leave a lasting impact on participants. From creative arts and public speaking to leadership development and international exchanges, these initiatives are more than just events - they’re transformative experiences. 

  • They offer young people the chance to:
  • Showcase their talents on respected platforms
  • Build confidence in a supportive and sociable environment

Discover how they can make a positive difference in their communities and the wider world

As a local Rotary club, we are proud to be part of this mission. We are available to help organise and facilitate any of the programmes featured in this section of the website, working closely with schools, youth groups, and families to ensure every young person has access to these life-changing opportunities. 

Whether you're looking to nominate a participant, host an event, or simply learn more about what Rotary can offer, we’re here to help bring these programmes to life in our community. 

Let’s work together to inspire the leaders, change makers and innovators of tomorrow.
