Mirroring Rotary International's People of Action campaign, we are starting a new district-wide program, a monthly youth forum called Youth of Action, Making a Difference. It'll be a series of online and, when possible, in-person sessions to bring young people and Rotarians together to discuss the challenges and opportunities of living in today's society.
We want to create a sustainable program for our young people. The ultimate goal is for Rotarians - and young people related to Rotary - to go back to their communities and do service projects together related to these issues.
Some forum thoughts for discussion would be:
- How has COVID messed with your plans?
- What are the stress points at this time, including not seeing friends, feeling bored, and not feeling challenged?
- How did the social isolation affect your mental and emotional health?
- Are you feeling frightened as to when this all will end?
- How will this affect my future progress, and success in school and life?
Please respond with your thoughts for ideas on this forum by e-mailing Sharon Spaulding, of the Rotary Club of Concord, at ses@spauldingco.com .
