Register for the 2019 Rotaract Youth Leadership Conference with your school counselor or advisor, and the conference on Friday, September 20, 2019.
Actively participate in breakout sessions (numerous team-building activities), and energizers! After the conference, create a slideshow, flyer, film, or brochure to teach your peers something important or worthwhile that stood out to you.
In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection will need to be turned in to a teacher for input into Power School. The reflection should address: What did you do? What did you learn? In what way was this service to your community?
The objective for the 2019 Rotaract Youth Leadership Conference is “to develop within our local youths the importance of successfully learning and growing oneself in order to be an effective leader, because as a leader your success lies in growing those around you. Fostering their connections and branching out with their peers, we want to continue to empower their potential for gaining knowledge and their will to lead us into the future.”
