What could this idea change?
Young people are represented as capable contributors with agency, not as promotional subjects, while adults see credible ways to remove barriers to participation.

Could this work in our club?
- Students, parents and carers, educators, youth organisations and community supporters. Use when a youth initiative has school or organisation approval and outcomes young participants want to share.
Before you start
- Youth-protection approval, screened adults and school or organisation communication boundaries.
- Separate informed permissions for participation, names, images, quotations and each intended channel.
- An accessible content plan that protects location, routine and other identifying details.
At the end: Debrief participants through the approved youth channel within one week, share what the campaign changed and reconfirm permissions before any later reuse.
Before your club says yes
Does the idea fit?
Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.
Who can say yes?
Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.
Are people protected?
Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.
Can everyone take part?
Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.
Are the facts and permissions right?
Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.
How will we learn?
Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
