Could this work in our club?
- Eligible young people, nominating clubs or schools, families, facilitators and host venues. Use when there is a defined participant cohort and enough lead time for safe recruitment.
Before you start
- Current District program authority, eligibility and application materials verified.
- Residential, transport, medical, accessibility and emergency controls approved.
- Screened staff, code of conduct and participant welfare contacts confirmed.
At the end: Within 72 hours, complete welfare closeout and send approved resources; offer an opt-in alumni pathway at one month and a project check-in at three months.
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.
