What is New Generations Service?
New Generations includes all young people under 30
The Council on Legislation approved New Generations as Rotary’s fifth Avenue of Service in April 2010
New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults
New Generations programs are a key tactic in RI’s Strategic Plan

Rotary youth programs can be the starting point for a lifetime in Rotary, but it important to remember that program participants are already making significant contributions in their communities and internationally. Make a long-term investment in New Generations, support their service, and enrich your club today. www.rotary.org/newgenerations
