Youth Services

Youth Services within Rotary, is committed to offering young people opportunities to unlock their potential, develop their skills and broaden their horizons.

Rotary is involved in sponsoring youth in different ways and has the ability to organise a varied range of competitions such as the Young Musician, Young Speaker, Young Writer, Young Photographer, Young Artist awards.

In our local area of SWF, your local Rotary has successfully sponsored and given awards in the Young Photographer and Young Artist competitions in previous years, and is looking to add to these, following interest shown by local schools.

The club also supports two active RotaKids clubs at Trinity St Mary’s Primary and Elmwood Primary as we believe its never too young to start making a difference in our local comrñunity. RotaKids gives those aged 7-12 the chance to do just that.

We are also looking to develop activity in the older youth age groups (12-18) to help them discover the power of volunteering and social action.

Looking for youth competitions, Rotary school clubs or opportunities then let us know.

 

ALL COMPETITIONS

 

The 2025/26 competitions is now open.

The 2024/25 competitions (which are now closed), once again saw the Barnett siblings at William de Ferrers run away with the prizes. Mia and Kia were awarded joint winners of our local photography competition with Kia going on to be the winner at the District level – no mean feat – though his campaign ended at the National RGB&I level; won by a young Lady sponsored by Rotary in Rutland.

Mia also won our senior Art prize and her brother our senior Writing prize.

What a pair!
