YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES
A very varied approach to this is the key to our activities in this area. For the younger ones we give out around 600 Dictionaries for Life each year to children at the local primary schools. During term time several of our members and some of their partners do reading assistance at the schools.
Older children from each school in the area participate in the Rotary Youth Speaks competition. In recent years teams from both Oathall Community College and Great Waltead School have won the national finals.
Also each year we sponsor a young person to take part in the week-long Rotary Youth Leadership Course, which is a life-changing experience for them.
