The Rotary Youth Engaged in Service Program (YES) provides unique local and international service opportunities to
grade 11 high school students.
- Local community organizations receive hundreds of volunteer hours as each student commits to a minimum of eighty hours of meaningful service during the school year.
- Villagers at international service sites are provided with much needed assistance and develop positive relationships with Americans and Canadians.
- Students experience a culture quite unlike their own, causing them to reevaluate their priorities and goals.
- Rotarians become more enthusiastic about fundraising when they learn of the significant impact of their efforts.
