District 5960 have a youth mentoring

program.

District 5960 has created a position of STRIVE

coordinator to provide a clearing house for district

Mentoring programs and to promote Youth Mentoring

“I have always wanted to be the first one in my family to go (to college) and to graduate.

I think I would be able to get ready for life in this program…”

“It was helpful to know that people in the community cared about us.

Knowing this, it motivated me more to do well.

Thank you.”

Let Rotary District 5960 help you promote STRIVE Mentoring in YOUR Rotary Club!
