Rotary Youth Leadership Conference

Creates an intensive, inclusive leadership experience connected to real community action, supported by safe selection, trained facilitators and post-event pathways.

What could this idea change?

Participants build relationships and practical leadership capability that can flow into local service and peer networks.

A simple way to start

  1. Confirm the authorised program model, dates, capacity and club obligations. Who could lead it: Club youth programs chair
  2. Promote through schools and community networks using equitable selection criteria. Who could lead it: Recruitment lead
  3. Collect necessary information securely and complete welfare planning. Who could lead it: Program safeguarding lead
  4. Deliver the conference with trained staff, documented supervision and incident response. Who could lead it: Conference director
  5. Connect participants to local action and evaluate outcomes without pressuring membership. Who could lead it: Alumni pathway lead

What should we look for?

  • Eligible applications and equitable selection outcomes.

Before we say yes

  • Does it fit a real local need?
  • Can people take part safely and fairly?
  • Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
  • Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
