Rotary is committed to providing youth both at home and around the world with resources they need to succeed. Beginning at the middle school level, Rotary sponsors numerous activities and community service projects that help develop strong, confident and ethical leaders who have the ability to solve problems and manage conflict. Through these activities youth can understand the importance of "Service Above Self", which is also the motto of Rotary.
