Teenagers today benefit greatly from opportunities to develop life-skills and motivation to help them cope with the challenges of a very competitive future. We've taken the skills that define the future of work and developed an experience that will develop problem solving, collaboration, leadership, communication, resilience, and confidence through interactive workshops, team building exercises, reflexivity, fun and friendship all in a supportive and safe environment.
For Rotary Clubs: The program fills a niche in the teenage market, supporting Rotary's commitment to youth. As such, it provides a great "bridge" to RYLA, Youth Exchange, and Rotaract, and offers Youth Directors a great opportunity to build relationships with local schools and youth groups.
