Youth Services - For New Generations

 

New Generations is involved in programs that work with young people. 

Rotary Youth Exchange

NOTE: Please see the December 5 event if you are interested in learning more about this program. 

The Rotary Youth Exchange is an international program that has been a key part of Rotary for many years. Our club participates both by sponsoring a student to go overseas, and by welcoming a student.  

In 2010-2011, Emily Winson went to Chile, and our club hosted Ale Medrano from Mexico.  

In 2011 - 2012, Allison Williams is inTaiwan, and we're welcoming Nils Thornevik from Haninge, Sweden.  

RYLA 

Each year the Club sponsors a candidate to attend the District's Rotary Youth Leadership Award Program. RYLA candidates are ages 14- 30 and are chosen for their leadership potential. They attend an all expense paid week-long workshop to discuss leadership skills and learn those skills through practice.

Rotaract 

The Club sponsored a new Rotaract Club at York University.  Rotaract is a Service Club for young adults 18 to 30.

With Rotaract Youth can: 

  • Develop professional leadership skills.

  • Serve the community & promote goodwill.

  • Gain an understanding of the need, problems & opportunities in the local community & worldwide.

Scholarships 

Each year the Rotary Club of Etobicoke provides a number of Secondary and High school scholarships to promote education, foster community service, high ethical standards and the advancement of goodwill and peace in our communities.

Camp Enterprise

Camp Enterprise was started over 30 years ago with the purpose of giving the Etobicoke high school students a better understanding of how business works. Our focus remains the same today. 

This Camp is provided free of charge to Etobicoke students who show a keen interest in entrepreneurship and community service.   Space is always limited as the competition is quite intense to be part of this program.    

The primary objective is to give secondary students a better understanding of how and why business works.  Top-notch motivational speakers, marketing experts and captains of industry donate their time to enrich the overall Camp Enterprise experience.  Students develop and implement, as part of a team, a business plan to raise funds for a charity of your choice.
