The RotaKids Program
RotaKids is Rotary's Program to help local young people learn new skills and make a difference in their community. They will use their Maths and English skills as well as learn about good citizenship. It is the equivalent to Rotary's Interact Clubs, but aimed at children aged between 7 and 11 years old.
RotaKids are enthusiastic, eager to help and enjoy working with others in their primary school class or junior school group.
Our RotaKids clubs are based around the School Councils of their Primary Schools ensuring that not only do they get experience in decision-making for their school, but also, helping the wider community at large. Not only do they work on their community-based projects, but we ensure they are involved in our club activities and have become a welcome and vital part of our stands at the town's Christmas Market.
It is a really simple way to make new friends and help others in the community. RotaKids work with local Rotary clubs on a project, it could be cleaning the garden or holding a sponsored event for charity. Whatever the idea, there's the opportunity to make a big difference whilst having great fun with their friends. At the end of the project, the satisfaction of a job well done, and a Rotary Certificate to prove it.
