This month is May - Youth Services Month and here are two "Courses of the Month" from the Rotary Learning Center. We are asking YOU to focus on these courses that align with the theme of the month. We encourage you to take these courses so that you have a better understanding and become even more effective in the success of your club. .
Here are the courses: Anyone can take the Youth Guide to Service Learning course and Protecting Youth Program Participants, a requirement of many club and district roles
Anyone can take the Youth Guide to Service Learning course : Service-learning combines community service with learning objectives that empower young people to develop real-world leadership skills. Partnership with the National Youth Leadership Council : The Youth Guide to Service-Learning course was developed in partnership with the National Youth Leadership Council, a leader in youth engagement and service-learning.

Protecting Youth Program Participants, a requirement of many club and district roles: Rotary strives to create and maintain a safe environment for everyone who participates in Rotary youth activities, whether they are children or adults. Rotary members, their spouses and partners, and other volunteers must safeguard the children and young people they come in contact with and protect them from physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Preventing and addressing abuse and harassment are everyone's responsibility. District leaders have the added responsibility of making sure our policies are followed and addressing any reports of abuse or harassment appropriately. This section of the course explains your responsibility to protect young people, how Rotary defines abuse and harassment — especially involving youths — and how we handle reports that it has occurred.
