Developing the skills and talents of young people.

Rotary is one of the world's largest and most successful global membership and humanitarian service organisations.

We sponsor participants for the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards which is a leadership development programme run by Rotary for young adults. 

The programme helps participants to

•    Gain exposure to leadership scenarios
•    Explore problem-solving strategies as part of a team
•    Discuss and apply creative approaches to leadership and conflict management
•    Build confidence in yourself and what you can achieve
•    Meet new people and make lasting friendships
•    Learn how to arrange youth activities and community service projects locally and internationally

Whether participants are a secondary school pupil, university student or young professional, RYLA will help them discover their potential and develop their skills needed to be a leader in their community, career and everyday life.

Mock Interviews

School leavers are often very nervous and are not well prepared to be interviewed for their first job so to help with this situation our Rotarians have helped by holding mock interviews at Warden Park Secondary Academy.

A report is given to each interviewee along with advice on how they can perfect their performance for the real interview.

Youth Speaks

The Rotary Youth Speaks competition is very much an active part of our youth activities involving intermediate and senior teams from local schools. In recent years a number of our schools have got through to the district final.
